You withdrew $36.25 from your checking account. Now your balance is -$14.75. Write and solve an equation to find the amount of money in your account before you withdrew the money?

You had $51

This is because 36.25 + 14.75 = 51.

This is right because 36.25 - 51 = 14.75

Therefore you started with $51
