If you end a game of football with 78 yards. Your l;st 2 runs were -7 & -5. Show an expression of how many yard he had before those last 2 runs.
My answer is 78 -5 -7
Didn't you have more yardage before you lost the last few yards?
78 was the final yardage for the game. It asks what the yardage was before those last 2 runs so your right.
78 + 5 + 7 would be the answer
Absolutely!
Thank yoiu
Your answer is correct. To find out how many yards the player had before the last two runs, you subtract the yards of the last two runs (-5 and -7) from the final total of 78 yards.
So the expression would be:
78 - 5 - 7 = 66 yards
Therefore, the player had 66 yards before the last two runs.
