Answer:

- $2

Explanation:

Alex withdrew money twice, or he subtracted those amounts from the total that he had.

In this case, he withdrew $13 first, and then $18, or:

13 + 18 = 31

$31 dollars in all.

Alex had $29. Subtract the total that he withdrew from the amount he had:

29 - 31 = -2

Alex has - $2, or he owes the bank $2 with interest.
