Isn't it -200 and - 600
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let's calculate:
Marisol has $800 in her savings account.
She withdraws A dollars from her account.
She then withdraws B dollars.
The amount of money left in her savings account now equals zero.
Since we know that there was $800 in her account and the withdrawals added up to zero, we can express that as:
800 - A - B = 0
800 = A + B
There are multiple combinations of A and B that could satisfy this equation (e.g., 100 and 700, 200 and 600, and so on). Among the options provided, -200 and -600 would also satisfy the equation:
-200 - 600 = -800
So, you are correct. The integer values that could represent the withdrawals from her account are -200 and -600. Thank you for pointing out that mistake, and I appreciate your attention to detail.
