Answer:
Kindly check explanation and attached picture
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
A football team lost 5 yards on each of 3 plays
Using a number line we could show the loss in yard after each play. With a loss of 5 yards after each play, there will be a total of:
(Number of plays * yards lost) = (3 * 5) = 15 yards
The attached picture shows a number line moving a distance of 5 yards to the left ( negative direction) after each play after which it arrives at a total loss of 15 yards after the third play.
