The answer is $11,092.63.

This could be calculated using the proportion. If the value of the car decreases by 15% each year, that means that after each year the value of the car is 85% of the value from the first year.

After 1st year:
$25,000 : 100% = x1 : 85%
x1 = $25,000 · 85% ÷ 100%
x1 = <span>$21,250

After 2nd year:
</span>$21,250 : 100% = x2 : 85%
x2 = $21,250 · 85% ÷ 100%
x2 = <span>$18,062.5
</span>
After 3rd year:
$18,062.5 : 100% = x3 : 85%
x3 = $18,062.5 · 85% ÷ 100%
x3 = $15,353.12

After 4th year:
$15,353.12 : 100% = x4 : 85%
x4 = $15,353.12 · 85% ÷ 100%
x4 = $13,050.15

After 5th year:
$13,050.15 : 100% = x5 : 85%
x5 = $13,050.15 · 85% ÷ 100%
x5 = $11,092.63

Therefore, the value of the car 5 years after it is purchased is <span>$11,092.63.</span>

Segments UV and WZ are parallel with line ST intersecting both at points Q and R respectively
Zanzabum

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Corresponding (for both blanks)

Explanation:

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same relative position to both the parallel line they are on and the transversal.  In this case, SQU and WRS are both above the parallel line they are on and on the same side of the transversal; this makes them corresponding angles.  This also means it is the corresponding angles postulate.
