Open in App
Solution

withdraw means decrease in money so we represent as the negative sign
let you have total 1000 in your account and you have withdrawn 700 means you have now = 1000+(-700)=1000-700 =300
so, here used -700

and if you have total 1000 and you earned 700 then total money you have = 1000+700=1700
so, here you have to use +700
