If a number is increased by 12 and then divided by 4, the result is 5. The algebraic equation is ?. The number is x= ?

I don't have an answer but I have a helpful example.

If a number is increased by 8, the result is 25 Find the number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.  Increasing x by 8 gives x + 8, which we are told is 25.  Therefore, x + 8 = 25.  Subtract 8 from both sides to find x = 17.  So, the number is 17.

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%
