A football team lost 6 yards on first down, 8 yards on second down, and 7 yards on third down. How many total yards have they lost?(1 point)

Answer 1

The total yards lost is calculated by adding up the yards lost on each down.

First down: -6 yards
Second down: -8 yards
Third down: -7 yards

Total yards lost = -6 yards + -8 yards + -7 yards
Total yards lost = -21 yards

Therefore, the football team has lost a total of 21 yards.
