represents the change to his account balance on Tuesday?

Answer 1

On Tuesday, Devon took 30 dollars out of his checking account.

Explanation:

Starting with: $50 - Ending with $0

Monday: took out $20 or in other words -20 50-20=30

Tuesday: undetermined, but since that was his last day, it would correspond with $0 so, he must've took out $30 and then ended up with none in the end.

30-30=0

So, he took 30 dollars out on tuesday.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Starting with 50

Took out 20

50-20 = 30

Then the balance was 0

We need to subtract 30 to get to get to 0

30-30 = 0

Taking out 30

Withdrawing 30

Spending 30

All are ways of indicating taking out 30 dollars
