Does a deposit into your account add or subtract money? If you have 10 and I give you 5, what do you have, 5 or 15?
And when you write a check, in other words, when you give someone some of your money, do you end up with more money or less money? If I have 10 and you give me a check for 10, do I have zero or do I have 20?
