If 10= 15/-6+x , what is the value of 5 + x

a.7.5
b.12.5
c.80
d.0.5

A. 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

15 / -6 +x = 10

15 /-6 +x * (-6+x) = 10 * (-6+x ) : multiply both sides by -6+x

15 = 10(-6+x) : simplify

15 = -60+10x : distribute

15+60 = 10x : addition property of equality

75/10=10x/10 : division property of equality

x = 7.5

A. 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
