The table shows the solution to the equation |2x − 4| − 3 = 3:

step 1: |2x − 4| = −3 + 3
step 2: |2x − 4| = 0
step 3: 2x − 4 = 0
step 4: 2x = 4
step 5: x = 2

which is the first incorrect step?

a. step 1
b. step 2
c. step 3
d. solution is correct

The correct answer is:

A.Step 1

Explanation:

The first step to solving this equation would be to cancel the 3, since it is outside the absolute value bars.  To cancel subtraction, we would add; this would give us

|2x-4| = 3+3

Instead, we had |2x-4| = -3+3

Thus the first step is incorrect.

i really do not know lamo this is great

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%
