SOLUTION:
Given the question in the question tab, the following is the solution to the question
Step 1: We write the statements in mathematical forms and execute the first operation.
Let the initial balance be $-20, if he deposits $135, this means that this amount was added to his checkbook. Hence, the new account becomes:
Step 2: He then writes a check for $55, this is a withdrawal and therefore a deficit. We now have:
Hence, the new balance in his checkbook will be $60.
