On the first play of a game, a running back gained 7 yards. On the next play, he lost 19yards. Find the change in yards in the two plays.
Mary’s bank account was overdrawn by $21. If she depends $60, find the new balance
+7-19 = -12
To find the change in yards between the two plays, we need to subtract the number of yards gained on the second play from the number of yards gained on the first play.
The running back gained 7 yards on the first play, and lost 19 yards on the next play.
Change in yards = 7 - (-19)
= 7 + 19
= 26 yards.
Therefore, the change in yards between the two plays is 26 yards.
To find the change in yards in the two plays, we need to subtract the number of yards he lost from the number of yards he gained.
First, we'll calculate the total yards gained by adding the yards gained and the yards lost:
Yards gained = 7 yards
Yards lost = -19 yards (since he lost yards)
Total yards gained = 7 + (-19) = -12 yards
The change in yards in the two plays is -12 yards.
