Question

The Georgia Bulldogs football team are assessed 10-yard penalties 14 times during a football game. Which equation models the total number of yards the team lost in the game?

A. (14)(10) = 140 yards
B. (14)(-10) = -140 yards
C. (-14)(-10) = 140 yards
D. (-14)(10) = -24 yards

Answer 1

the comment above is correct

Answer 2

It should be b because if they lost 10 years each time. It would be -10 yards times 14 because if you made the 14 negative it would cancel out so it would be 140 yards and that would seem like they’re earning 140 yards
