Answer:
The method that finds the total yards at the end of the first four plays is [tex]\boldadd (-12) to (3\times5)\bold[/tex] yards.
Solution:
Teen lost 12 yards on the first play, so in first play the yards goes in negative.
Next three plays each he gained 5 yards each. Total yards he got is [tex](5\times3)[/tex] yards
. As he gained the yards, so these yards will be positive.
So after four play the total yards will be [tex]-12+3\times5[/tex]
Hence, the method is [tex]add (-12) to (3\times5)[/tex]
