A football team took possession of the football on their $\text{42-yard line.}$ In the next three plays, they lost $\text{6 yards,}$ gained $\text{4 yards,}$ and then lost $\text{8 yards.}$ On what yard line was the ball at the end of those three plays?

## Solution

We are asked to find the yard line the ball was on at the end of three plays.

 Write a word phrase for the position of the ball. Start at 42, then lose 6, gain 4, lose 8. Translate to math notation. 42−6+4−8 Simplify. 32 Write a sentence to answer the question. At the end of the three plays, the ball is on the 32-yard line.

The Bears took possession of the football on their $\text{20-yard line.}$ In the next three plays, they lost $\text{9 yards,}$ gained $\text{7 yards,}$ then lost $\text{4 yards.}$ On what yard line was the ball at the end of those three plays?

14-yard line

The Chargers began with the football on their $\text{25-yard line.}$ They gained $\text{5 yards,}$ lost $\text{8 yards}$ and then gained $\text{15 yards}$ on the next three plays. Where was the ball at the end of these plays?

37-yard line

## Key concepts

• Addition of Positive and Negative Integers  $5+3$ $-5+\left(-3\right)$ both positive, sum positive both negative, sum negative When the signs are the same, the counters would be all the same color, so add them. $-5+3$ $5+\left(-3\right)$ different signs, more negatives different signs, more positives Sum negative sum positive When the signs are different, some counters would make neutral pairs; subtract to see how many are left.
