First down = 25 yards.

Ball moved 6 yards closer = 25 - 6 or 19 yards.

Then 10 yards away = 19 + 10 or 29 yards.

Then 8 yards closer = 29 - 8 or 21 yards.

The ball at the end of the third down will be 21 yard rom Captain's end zone .

Addition and subtraction are the simple mathematical operations, that are used for adding values to get total and reducing or removing value.

We have,

At first down the football = 25 yards

Now,

According to the question,

During three downs,

So,

For first down of three downs moves closer = 25 - 6 = 19 yards,

Now,

For second down of three downs moves farther = 19 + 20 = 29 yards

Now,

For third down of three downs moves closer = 29 - 8 = 21 yards

So,

21 yards away from the Captains' end zone.

Hence, we can say that the ball at the end of the third down will be 21 yard rom Captain's end zone .
