Alex was trying to determine how much money he owed the bank. Since his checking account has a balance of -155 dollars, he thinks that he can find the absolute value of -155 to determine that he owes the bank 155 dollars. Is Alex correct?

Alex is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for Alex to get to $0, meaning he owes the bank nothing, he has to add 155 dollars to negative 155 dollars, because this means he has no debt left. The absolute value of -155 is 155 and if Alex pays the 155 dollars, he will not have to pay anything else to the bank.
