Explanation:

Alex wrote checks on Tuesday for $30 and $40. He also made a deposit in his checking account of $180. Let's solve it step by step :

Alex wrote checks on Tuesday for $30 and $40:

Let's suppose Alex initially had x amount of money out of which $30 & $40 is deducted! so left amount of money is $(x-70) .

He also made a deposit in his checking account of $180:

Out of left money $(x-70) , Alex deposited $180 in account so new money = $(x-70) + $180 = $(x+110)

Therefore, Alex finally had $(x+110) amount of money in his account i.e. He had $100 more then before!
