Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

The football team lost the same number of yards on each of 3 consecutive plays. Specifically, they lost **6 yards per play**.

To find the total change in yards, multiply the yards lost per play by the number of plays:

$$ \text{Total Change} = 6 \text{ yards/play} \times 3 \text{ plays} = 18 \text{ yards} $$

Since the team lost yards, the total change is **-18 yards**. This means the team was **18 yards behind** from their starting point after the three plays.

**Total yards lost:** 18 yards
The team lost a total of 18 yards.
