    Your original account balance before you made the deposit is $6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x = your original account balance.

    You triple your account balance by making a deposit. This means

    New account balance = 3 * x = 3x

    Then you withdraw $28.50 from your bank account. This means that you have $ (3x - 28.5) left.

    Now your account is overdrawn by $10.50. This means you have withdrawn beyond what you have in your account. Your new account balance is - $10.5. Therefore,

    3x - 28.5 = - 10.5

    3x = - 10.5 + 28.5 = 18

    x = 18/3 = 6

    Your original account balance before you made the deposit is $6
