7 yards from line of scrimmage

Usually 7 (although more often 8) yards nowadays.
To calculate distance of a field goal, take the distance from the holder (where the ball will be kicked from) to the goal line, and add 10 yards for the depth of the endzone.
So if the line of scrimmage is the 35, the ball will probably be placed at the 43. And then it's a 53-yard attempt.

Field goal distance is measured from the spot of the kick plus the ten yards it would travel through the endzone, above the crossgar, and between the goalposts. If the line of scrimmage were the 24 yard line, the kick would be 41 yards based on the 24 yards from the goalline, plus the seven yard distance of the snap, plus the ten yard depth of the end zone previously described. It is the same in all levels of play, not just the NFL.

Line of scrimmage plus seven yards back plus ten yards for the end zone equals FG distance

endzone is ten and kicker is back seven,so if the ball is on the thirty its a forty seven yard attempt.
