"A second kick from behind the line of scrimmage is legal provided the ball has not crossed the line," the rule reads. The rule also mentions that the player kicking the ball must be behind the line of scrimmage as well: "The penalty for a punt, drop kick, or placekick from beyond the line is to be enforced from the spot where the ball is punted or kicked when the player’s entire body and the ball are beyond the line of scrimmage. This includes either when the player is airborne or touching the ground."

What are letters that stand for numbers?

We often use a letter such as x or a as a placeholder for a number in expressions. These are called variables (just like the letters we used in equations, previously). Variables make it possible to write expressions that represent a calculation even when we don't know all the numbers in the calculation.

Summary

Suppose you share a birthday with a neighbor, but she is 3 years older than you. When you were 1, she was 4. When you were 9, she was 12. When you are 42, she will be 45. If we let (a) represent your age at any time, your neighbor’s age can be expressed (a+3).

your age (1) (9) (42) (a) neighbor's age (4) (12) (45) (a+3)

Table (PageIndex{3})

We often use a letter such as (x) or (a) as a placeholder for a number in expressions. These are called variables (just like the letters we used in equations, previously). Variables make it possible to write expressions that represent a calculation even when we don't know all the numbers in the calculation. How old will you be when your neighbor is (32)? Since your neighbor's age is calculated with the expression (a+3), we can write the equation (a+3=32). When your neighbor is (32) you will be (29), because (a+3=32) is true when (a) is (29).
