The total sack yardage is -54 yards
To get the total of sack yardage we add all the sack yardage, that is,
(-14) + (-5) + (-12) + (-23) (1)
Now as we can see they are negative numbers. So to add negative numbers, we first convert the negative numbers to absolute values which are those numbers that don’t have a negative sign in front it, that is,
|-14| = 14 , |-5| = 5 , |-12| = 12 , |-23| = 23
Now equation (1) can be written as,
= |-14| + |-5| + |--12| + |-23|
= 14 + 5 + 12 + 23
Now the next step is to add these absolute values,
14 + 5 + 12 + 23 = 54
As the numbers were negative then the answer will also be in negative.
Hence, the total sack yardage is -54 yards
