Answer:
there is a 23% decrease in the price of the house
Step-by-step explanation:
percentage decrease of the price of the house = (price decrease of the house / initial price of the house) x 100
price decrease of the house =new price - initial price
$115,500 - $150,000 = $-34,500
( $-34,500 / $150,000) x 100 = -23%

I find it usually works well to draw the longest side first. Then draw arcs with radii equal to the other two side lengths. They will cross at an angle that makes the position of the third point easy to find.
u = -3
12 - 2u = 9u + 45
2u - 12 = -9u - 45
2u + 9u = 12 - 45
11u = -33
u = -33/11
