A football team ran four plays. The first play lost 5 yards. The second play lost 9 yards. The third play gained 12 yards. The last play lost 8 yards. Express the total gain or loss of yards as an integer

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the the total gain or loss of yards, use an integer expression to write each play.

1st play = - 5

2nd play = - 9

3rd play = 12

4th play = - 8

The expression is - 5 + - 9 + 12 + - 8

-14 + 12 + - 8

-2 + - 8

-10
