A-5 x 3. This is because a negative times a positive equals a negative, aka the LOSS of 15 yards.

Answer:

\(-5\times 3\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that The team you cheer for loses 5 yards on three plays in a row.

Since we are given the lose of 5 yards

So, lose will be denoted by negative sign

Now we are also given that  The team you cheer for loses 5 yards on three plays in a row.

For 1st play he loses 5 yards = -5

For 2nd play he losses 5 yards =-5

For 3rd play he losses 5 yards =-5

So, total loss = \(-5-5-5\)

Taking - 5 common

\(-5(1+1+1)\)

\(-5\times 3\)

So,The expression shows the total loss in yards is \(-5\times 3\)

Hence Option A is correct.
