Question

A running back on the high school football team was tackled for a 10-yard loss. On the very next play, the running back gains 10 yards. How many yards does the running back have after these two plays? Please hellpppp

Answer 1

He has 0 yards

Explanation:

Initially he lost 10 yards

This means that he is 10 yards away from the starting point which we shall call origin

Afterwards, he gained 10 yards

what this mean is that he is back at the original point before the loss

Since he gained what he lost, then he is back at the origin and then we can say that no yards was lost or gain so we have him gaining 0 yards only
