Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation: first you should write it out like it is telling you. put a line and EG is the line and f is in the middle of the two looks kinda like this  E         F          G but they are on a line EG= 25 that means the whole thing equals 25. EF= 2x-6 and FG= 4x+7. when you plug that in it should look like this 25=2x-6+4x+7 then solve.

Lee's family had a garden in the shape of a right triangle. the total area of the garden is 16 square feet. if they expand the g
lana [24]
Area of right-angled triangle  is given by;

Area, A = 1/2 *b*h, Where b=base, h=height

Therefore,

A1 = 1/2bh = 16 in^2
A2 = 1/2 (2b)(2h) = 2bh

Ratio of increase = A2/A1 = {2bh}/(1/2bh} = 4 (the area is increased 4 times)
The,
A2 = 4*16 = 64 in^2
Therefore,
The area is increased by (64-16) = 48 in^2

5-year Treasury bonds yield 5%. The inflation premium (IP) is 1.9%, and the maturity risk premium (MRP) on 5-year bonds is 0.4%.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

real risk-free rate = 2.7 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Treasury bonds yield r  = 5%

time = 5 year

(IP) = 1.9%

MRP = 0.4%

to find out

real risk-free rate r*

solution

we will find real risk-free rate r* by the given formula that is

Treasury bonds yield = real risk-free rate + IP + MRP + default risk premium + liquidity premium

so here default risk premium and liquidity premium both are zero

put all the other value we get real risk-free rate

real risk-free rate = 5% - 1.9 % - 0.4%

real risk-free rate = 2.7 %
