A football team lost nine yards during a play. The team had a combined gain or loss of 0 yards after the next play. What integer represents the yards gained or lost on the next play?

Gained X yds. on next play.

-9 + x = 0,
X = 9 yds.

9 because the opposite of -9 is defiantly 9 because when you combine those number together the equal to 0, like they are supposed to. I hope this helps with the problem everyone.

I agree

To find the integer that represents the yards gained or lost on the next play, we need to consider the total change in yards that occurred during the two plays.

The first play resulted in a loss of 9 yards, so we should consider this as a negative value. Therefore, we can represent the first play as -9 yards.

The combined gain or loss after the next play is 0 yards, which means that the total change in yards should be zero. If we let "x" represent the yards gained or lost on the next play, we can write the equation:

(-9) + x = 0

To solve for x, we can add 9 to both sides of the equation:

x = 9

Therefore, the integer that represents the yards gained or lost on the next play is 9 yards.
