In their latest play, the Giants lost another 5 yards. This is their third time losing 5
yards. The also gained 20 yards. Give an integer to represent how many yards the
Giants have gained or lost.

Respuesta :

Using basic operations, it is found that the integer 5 represents that the Giants have gained 5 yards.

-----------------------------------------

  • There have been three plays where the Giants have lost 5 yards, thus, 3 times 5 is subtracted from their yardage total.
  • There is one play where the Giants have gained 20 yards, thus, 20 yards are added to their yardage total.

Using basic operations, we find the integer that represents the Giants yardage, as follows:

[tex]Y = -3\times5 + 20 = -15 + 20 = 5[/tex]

The integer 5 represents that the Giants have gained 5 yards.
