Sylvia Nolan · Answer 2

-$32

Step-by-step explanation:

Karen starts with $12 in her account but she needs to write a check for $44.

When you write a check you are taking money away from your account so you are subtracting.

So to find how much money she has in her account after writing a check, you have to subtract 12 from 44.

12 - 44 = - 32
