When three times a number is decreased by two, the result is 34. What is the number?

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be represented by this, with x equaling "the number":

3x-2=34

    +2 +2

We are trying to isolate the x, so we can add 2 to both sides, to keep the equation equal.

3x=36

Now we have to divide both sides by 3 to isolate the x

the answer is:

x=12

4 candies

step-by-step explanation:

7 x 28 = 196

200 - 196 = 4 candies remaining.

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%
