Answer:

Liabilities are what someone owes and assets are what someone owns and is worth something. The house is an asset and the car loan is a liability. According to the numbers provided the assets have an increase of $6,000 with +10,000 from the house and -4,000 from the car. And liabilities had a decrease of $25,500 with a -$29,000 from mortgage and car loans and a +3,500 from the savings account and debt. So assets increase and liabilities decrease.
