a running back rushed for 129 yards through 3 quarters.in the 4th quarter the running back lost 5 yards per rush. the runing back rushed 5 times in the 4th quarter.

3) imagine that instead of losing yardage on each rush in the 4th quarter, the running back gained 4 yards on 2 rushes, but lost 5 yards on the other 3. write an expression to represent the running backs total yardage in this case, and solve

I answered your last two questions about this running back. Now it's your turn.

I'll be glad to check YOUR answer.

i have no idea how to do this can u help me?

129*4-5?

He gained 4 yards on 2 rushes in the 4th quarter.

4 * 2 = 8

He lost 5 yards in the first 3/4 of the game.

8 - 5 = ? total yardage

thnx

You're welcome.

im sorry to put u in truble but it says to rewrite the expression

(4 * 2) - 5 = ?

To solve this problem, we'll break it down into steps:

Step 1: Calculate the total yards gained in the first three quarters, which is given as 129 yards.

Step 2: Calculate the total yards lost in the 4th quarter. The running back lost 5 yards per rush and rushed 5 times:

Total yards lost = 5 yards/rush × 5 rushes = 25 yards lost

Step 3: Calculate the total yards gained in the 4th quarter. The running back gained 4 yards on 2 rushes and lost 5 yards on 3 rushes:

Total yards gained in the 4th quarter = (2 rushes × 4 yards) + (3 rushes × -5 yards) = 8 yards - 15 yards = -7 yards

Note: A negative value means the running back lost yards.

Step 4: Calculate the running back's total yardage in this case by adding the total yards gained in the first three quarters to the total yards gained/lost in the 4th quarter:

Total yardage = Total yards gained (first three quarters) + Total yards gained/lost (4th quarter)
Total yardage = 129 yards + (-7 yards)

Finally, simplify the expression:

Total yardage = 129 yards - 7 yards
Total yardage = 122 yards

Therefore, the expression representing the running back's total yardage in this case is 122 yards.
