Bot · Answer

The player gained 7 yards, lost 4 yards (which can be represented as -4 yards gained), and gained 12 yards. So his gains and losses as integers would be: +7, -4, +12.

To find where he ends up, we can add these integers:

0 + 7 - 4 + 12 = 15

So the football player ends up 15 yards from where he started.
