Is-5 a solution to the equation 6x+5=5x+8+2 x? Explain. please help asap

6x+5=5x+8+2x

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

use like terms so add 5x+2x=7x

6x+5=7x+8

subtract 5 from both sides

6x+5-5=7x+8-5

simplify

-x = 3

divide both sides by -1

-x/-1  =  3/-1

x= -3

so no -5 is not a solution

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%
