Option C
The football team had a overall loss of 2 yards
Solution:
When the team gains yards we use a positive value, and when the team loses yards we use a negative value.
Given that, football team gains 2 yards on the first play
First play = +2
Given that football team loses 5 yards on the second play
Second play = -5
Given that football team loses 3 yards on the third play
Third play = -3
Given that football team gains 4 yards on the fourth play
Fourth play = +4
Put the yards from four plays together, we get
⇒ 2 -5 -3 + 4
Let us simplify
⇒ -3 -3 + 4 = -6 + 4 = -2
So, -2 represents loss of two yards (since negative value indicates loss)
