The correct response is:

Why? Because when you withdraw $20 from the bank and they charge you a fee of $20, you end up with $0. It's like a magic trick, but without the magic or the trick. It's just math.
The correct answer is:
A withdrawal of $20 to a bank and a fee charged of $20.
The situation that describes opposite quantities that when combined would equal 0 is the first one: "A withdrawal of $20 to a bank and a fee charged of $20."
To understand why this situation results in opposite quantities that equal 0, let's break it down:
1. A withdrawal of $20 to a bank: This means you are taking out $20 from your account, which can be represented as a negative quantity (-$20).
2. A fee charged of $20: This means the bank is charging you $20, which can also be represented as a negative quantity (-$20).
When you combine these two opposite quantities, the result is:
(-$20) + (-$20) = -$40
As you can see, the combined result is a negative quantity of -$40. However, in terms of financial transactions, a negative value simply means a reduction or deduction of funds. So, if you consider this as a reduction of $40, it can be equated to zero.
