Question

When Lucas first opened his bank account, he deposited x amount of

money in there. The second week, he deposited the same amount of
money in his bank account. Two weeks later, he wrote a check for $116
and ended up having -$6 in his balance. How much money did Lucas
deposit when he first opened his account?

Answer 1

55

Explanation:

Lucas went to the bank the first time with $55 and the second time with $55, when you add those togeother you get $110. Then he wrote a check for $116 and ended up having -$6...basically if you have $110 in all then you write a check for $116 you would have -$6 in your balance. 110-116 = -6
