The Bobcats football coach logged the following yardage gains and losses over four plays of a game.

1. Gain 25x yards.
2. Gain 0.9y yards.
3. Lose 12y yards.
4. Lose 5.2x yards.
What is the net yardage for these four plays?

Enter your answer as an expression, like this: 42x+53y

Answer 1

19.8x-11.1y

Explanation:

1) We can rephrase the equation as:

25x+0.9y-12y-5.2x

2) Simplify:

19.8x-0.9y-12y

3) Solve: 0.9y-12y= -11.1y

And the just put that next to 19.8 and you are done
