This is a basic addition/subtraction question. It's saying that they started at the 50 yard line. On the play, they gained 7 yards. So, we'll add 50+7 = 57.
They're at the 57 yard line at this point. On the second play they lost 10 yards (how unfortunate). Thereby, we will subtract 57-10=47.
50 yards +7 yards. -10 yards.
The answer will be that they'll be on the 47 yard line on the next play.
If Jim’s football team started a play on the 50 yard line and had a 7-yard gain, lost 10 yards on the second play, then at the end of the second play, the ball was on the 47 yard line
The starting point = 50 yard line
The football team had a 7-yard gain after the first play
The new yard line after the end of the first play = (The starting point) + (Number of yards gained)
The new yard line after the end of the first play = 50 + 7
The new yard line after the end of the first play = 57 yard line
The football team lost 10 yards after the second play
The new yard line after the end of the second play = (The yard line after the end of the first play) - (The number of yards lost)
The new yard line after the end of the second play = 57 - 10
The new yard line after the end of the second play = 47
At the end of the second play, the ball was on the 47 yard line
