BRAINLIEST AND THANKS IF ANSWER CORRECT! Given the system of the following two linear equations:

Equation 1: 12x−2y=−1

Equation 2: 4x+6y=−4

What would be the first step in eliminating the variable y?

You would achieve that by multiplying equation 1 by +3 and equation 2 by +1, then add the two equations.

PLEASE IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS EXPLANATION, PLEASE ASK FOR ADDITIONAL HELP.

the answer will be

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%
