Answer 2

We have to choose the equation which represents the total amount of money deducted from Jim`s account. We know that he first used his debit card to withdraw $35 ( - 35 ) and then he wrote a check for $8 ( - 8 ). Therefore:
- 35 + ( - 8 ) = - 35 - 8 = - 43.
Answer: D ) - 35 + ( - 8 ) = - 43
