To find the total amount of yards the quarterback gained, we need to combine the results of each play.
1. First down: he rushed for 7 yards.
2. Second down: he was sacked for -5 yards, which means he lost 5 yards.
3. Third down: he threw the ball for 6 yards.
So we can write the total yards as:
\[ 7 + (-5) + 6 \]
Calculating this step by step:
- First, combine 7 and -5:
\[ 7 + (-5) = 2 \]
- Then add 6:
\[ 2 + 6 = 8 \]
Therefore, the total amount of yards added is 8 yards.
The correct number sentence is:
C. \( 7 + (-5) + 6 = 8 \)
1. First down: he rushed for 7 yards.
2. Second down: he was sacked for -5 yards, which means he lost 5 yards.
3. Third down: he threw the ball for 6 yards.
