If a high school football team looses 7 yards on 2 consecutive days, then has gained of 3 yards, how far will the ball be from the starting line of scrimmage?
Step by step: multiple 7 by 2 because you lost 7 yards in 2 days. You would get 14 yards back from the starting line of scrimmage, but you still need to add the 3 yards they gained leaving you with 11.
