Answer:

The total assets must change by B) $5,000 decrease

Explanation:

hi, remember that:

[tex]Assets=Liabilities+Equity[/tex]

If liabilities decrease by $15,000 and equity increases by $10,000...

[tex]Assets=(Liabilities-15,000)+(Equity+10,000)[/tex]

[tex]Assets=Liabilities+Equity-5,000[/tex]

Therefore, to balance this equation, we have to substract -$5,000 from the assets, therefore, the assets decrease by 5,000, which is B)

Best of luck.
