better yet, are there any resources on the net that "teach" you this concept such as a power point or something else?

The Redding Study Guide does a much better job of doing that than the rule book. In the rule book, it is covered by rule 10-2, which says...
SECTION 2 DOUBLE AND MULTIPLE FOULS
ART. 1 . . . It is a double foul if both teams commit fouls, other than unsportsmanlike or nonplayer, during the same live-ball period in which:
a. There is no change of team possession, unless all fouls committed by R are post-scrimmage kick fouls.
b. There is a change of team possession, and the team in possession at the end of the down fouls prior to final change of possession unless all fouls committed by R are post-scrimmage kick fouls.
c. There is a change of possession and the team in final possession accepts the penalty for its opponent's foul.
In (a), (b) or (c), the penalties cancel and the down is replayed.
ART. 2 . . . If each team fouls during a down in which there is a change of team possession and the play does not have a 2-16-2g (post-scrimmage kick) foul, the team last gaining possession may retain the ball, provided its foul is not prior to the final change of possession and it declined the penalty for its opponent's foul, other than a nonplayer or unsportsmanlike foul. In this case, the team not last in possession has no penalty options. If each team fouls during a down in which there is a change of possession and all R fouls are after the kick has been made, then R may retain the ball, provided R declines the penalty for K's foul(s), other than a nonplayer or unsportsmanlike foul. In this case, the team that was not last in possession has no penalty options and the foul against R will be enforced.
