Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
we have

Adds 18 both sides

Complete the square


Divide by 9 both sides

Rewrite as perfect squares

In 7 years, the car was 18,000 and after 5 years it is worth 10,500 so if you subtract 18000-10500=7500 and if you do 7500/5=1500 so this means that the car was going down 1500 in value every year.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
7x + 3 = 9x - 19
-2x + 3 = -19
-2x = -22
x = 11
DE= 7(11) + 3 = 77 + 3 = 80
EF = 9(11) - 19 = 99 - 19 = 80
80 + 80 = 160 for DF
