On the first down, a football team had a loss of 8yd. After two downs, the team had an over all gain of 20yd. How many yards were gained on a second?
The team gained 28 yards on the second down.
Let y= yard gained on 2nd down
8yd loss (-8)
20yd gain after two downs First 2nd total yards
-8+y=20
-8+8+y=20+8
y=28
great job Charles! your explanation was very clear and I could understand it perfectly. the video you included was very educational and helpful, but you should use some pictures next time instead of using only text. well done Charles! :)
ReplyDeletegood job on your scribe post charles! you did a very swell work at explaining the steps and it was very easy to understand, although i recommend adding in colour and pictures to help liven up the post.
ReplyDeleteGood Job on your Scribe Post Charles. It's very well done but it isn't very pleasing to the eye. There are no pictures that catch my attention and your explanation for solving word problems is very explanatory.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I couldn't put in pictures in because my computer keep crashing when I try to insert a photo.
