Anya withdraws $14 from her bank account once each day for seven days. What integer represents the change in the amount in the​ account? Find the integer that would represent the change in the amount in the account if Anya deposits ​$14 into her bank account once each day for seven days. Explain the difference between the integer for the withdrawals and the integer for the deposits.

If she withdraws $14 from her bank account, then her account balance decreases by $14, so the change to the balance is -$14. Multiply -14 times 7 (which will be a negative product) to get the total change to the amount in her account in the first scenario.

 

Adding $14 is very similar, the only difference being her account balance increases by $14, so the change to the balance is $14. Multiply this by 7 to get the total change to the amount in her account in the second scenario.

 

Hopefully the difference between the withdrawal and deposit is clear from the earlier explanation.
