Andre has $37 in his bank account and writes a check for $87. After the check has been cashed, what will the bank balance show?

37 + (-87) = - 50 is his bank balance.

Explanation:

Essentially, when you write a check, you are withdrawing money.

This means that Andre will have - 50 in his bank balance.

You add the 37 dollars currently in his bank account, but you also add the - 87, (in this case is negative since you are withdrawing), which makes your answer - 50.
