On three consecutive passes, a football team gains 8 yards, lose 26 yards, and gain 16 yards. The total net yardage is how many yards.
8-26+16=32 yards. Is this right.
Nope.
The team gained 24 yards and lost 26 yards. In other words the team lost yardage.
I somehow got 34...
To find the total net yardage, you need to add up the yards gained and subtract the yards lost.
In this case:
Yards gained on the first pass: 8 yards
Yards lost on the second pass: 26 yards
Yards gained on the third pass: 16 yards
To calculate the total net yardage, you can add the yards gained and subtract the yards lost:
8 + (-26) + 16 = -2
Therefore, the total net yardage is -2 yards.
