no, he will pay all

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

Let

negative numbers represent the money he owes

positive number represent the money the receives

then

Tyler owes his dad $10.00.=-10

He borrows another $7=-7

he gets paid $20=+20

Step 3

finally, the total is the sum of all


\text{total}=-10-7+20=+3

the answer is positive, it means he will not be in debt, he also will have 3
