Antonio's checking account currently has a negative balance of −$42.17. Yesterday he made purchases of $3.75 and $12.07. If Antonio's bank charges $34 for overdraft protection, what was his account balance prior to yesterday's transactions?

He started the day with 7.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming at the beginning of yesterday he had a balance of x

He will be charged 34 dollars since he went negative

x- 3.75 -12.07 - 34 =-42.17

Combine like terms

x -49.82 = -42.17

Add 49.82 to each side

x -49.82+49.82 = -42.17+49.82

x = 7.65

//blooming serenity//

beautiful in the morning

mysterious at night

wonderous nature souring

with all it's mystical might

the flower that blooms

to the fox that looms

nocturnal creatures

with various features

a blooming flower soon in sight

as a new little hatchling fears to take flight  

afraid to leave it's calming nest,

but dear little bird, mother knows best

as sure as there are stars in the sky,

life is not about who, where what, when or why-

it's the journey that follows

adventures we swallow

of   nature's deep wonders,

natural disasters and storm's thunders.

blooming serenity

life and nature, truly is heavenly.
