What do you get?
To calculate the net gain after a penalty is applied, you need to subtract the penalty yards from the initial gain. In this case, the initial gain is 43 yards, and the penalty is -15 yards.
To find the net gain, you subtract the penalty yards from the initial gain:
Net Gain = Initial Gain - Penalty Yards
In this case:
Net Gain = 43 yards - (-15 yards)
To subtract a negative number, we can rewrite it as addition:
Net Gain = 43 yards + 15 yards
Adding 43 yards and 15 yards gives us 58 yards.
Therefore, the net gain after a penalty of -15 yards is 58 yards.
