Let's put the situation in a mathematical form: let x be the amount of each one of the two checks

[tex]235.24-2x=-45.58[/tex]

and then we solve the equation for x, to know what was the amount of each of those checks​:

[tex]235.24+45.58=2x[/tex]

then:

[tex]2x=280.82[/tex]

then we can divide on both sides of the equality by 2 and obtain that:

[tex]x=\frac{280.82}{2}=140.41\text{ dollars}[/tex]
