Use the distributive property to evaluate the following expression: 9 × (4 + 9)

117. I'm guessing that the x stands for multiplication not a variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply using the distributive property and then combine the like terms.

135

Step-by-step explanation:

You can you the word pemdas to help you. P : parentheses

E: exponents

M: Multiplication

D: division

A: addition

S: subtraction.

But for the distributive property to work, we would have to separate the 4 & 9, so the equation would look like this =

9 x (4) + 9 x (9) =

36 + 81 =

117

Hope that helps!

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%
