I think it's A

Hank paid back the 2$ that he owned his friend so he no longer owes him more money so -2+2=0

Answer:

A

Explanation:

If he borrows two dollars that looks like it should be +2 because he has 2 dollars that he didn't have before. But ...

The problem is that he now owes 2 dollars. So the two dollars that he borrowed is wiped out.

+ 2 for the two dollars - 2 when he pays it back. Result 0

+2 - 2 = 0

A
