The Georgia Bulldogs football team are assessed 10-yard penalties 14 times during a football game. Which equation models the total number of yards the team lost in the game?

A. (14)(10) = 140 yards
B. (14)(-10) = -140 yards
C. (-14)(-10) = 140 yards
D. (-14)(10) = -24 yards

Respuesta :

It should be b because if they lost 10 years each time. It would be -10 yards times 14 because if you made the 14 negative it would cancel out so it would be 140 yards and that would seem like they’re earning 140 yards
the comment above is correct
