A football team gained 8 yards on a first down, lost 12 yards on the second down, and gained 16 yards on the third down. How many yards did the team gain or lose?

Assumptions:
• We reflect gains by adding
• We reflect losses by subtracting
Plays:
• Gain of 8 = +8
• Loss of 12 = -12
• Gain of 16 = +16
Net Gain/Loss
+8 - 12 + 16
+12 (gain)
