Which expression is equivalent to 2(x + 5) + 5x?
a)2x + 10
b)7x + 5
c)7x + 10
D)10x + 5

C. 7x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 2

2(x+5) +5x

2*x+2*5 +5x

2x+10+5x

Combine like terms

2x+5x+10

7x+10

So, C is the correct answer

Hope this helps! :)

Option C

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%

multiplication is multiplication.   it might feel harder depending on what level of math you are in, but generally it will be the same old stuff, while implementing some new concepts and methods of solving work.
