    A football gained 52 yards during the possession. In the next 3 possessions they gained the same amount of yards each time. If they gained a total of 256 yards, write and solve an equation for how many yards they gained in each of the last 3 possessions.

    Subtract 52 initial yards
    256 - 52 = 204

    Now, divide 204 by 3 possessions
    204/3 = 68 yards
