On three consecutive passes, a football team gains 6 yards, loses 36 yards, and gains 16 yards.

What number represents the total net yardage?

This looks like elementary arithmetic to me.

16 + 6 = 22 yards
22 - 36 = -14 yards

To find the total net yardage, you need to calculate the sum of the yards gained and lost in the three passes.

On the first pass, the team gains 6 yards.
On the second pass, the team loses 36 yards.
On the third pass, the team gains 16 yards.

To find the total net yardage, we add these three numbers together:
6 + (-36) + 16 = -14 yards

Therefore, the total net yardage is -14 yards.
