Two types of cars have different projected depreciation values. Their changing values are modeled as shown. Find the average rate of change of the value of each car over the 10-year period. Which car’s value decreases more quickly? {please help.. I don't remember going over this before.. ;-;}

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

answer: the answer is d

step by step resolutions

1) n+n+1+n+2=51

3n+3=51

3n=48

n=16

the three numbers are 16, 17 and 18.

2) x+15=4x

3x=15

x=5

radha is now 5 years old

3) the two digits are x and y.

y=3x

(10x+y)+(10y+x)=88

y=3x

11x+11y=88

y=3x

x+y=8

x+3x=8

x=2

the original number can be either 28 or 82.

4) n+(n+2)+(n+4)=48

3n+6=48

3n=42

n=14

the numbers are 14, 16 and 18.

5) y=x+3

10y+x+10x+y=143

y=x+3

11x+11y=143

y=x+3

x+y=13

x+x+3=13

2x=10

x=5

the original number can be 57 or 75.

hope this !
