To simplify the expression, you need to distribute the numbers outside the parentheses to the terms inside the parentheses and then combine like terms.
9(k + 13) + 10(12k - 1)
First, distribute 9 to the terms inside the first parentheses:
9k + 9(13) + 10(12k - 1)
Next, distribute 10 to the terms inside the second parentheses:
9k + 9(13) + 10(12k) + 10(-1)
Simplify within each set of parentheses:
9k + 117 + 120k - 10
Now, combine like terms:
(9k + 120k) + (117 - 10)
129k + 107
The simplified expression is 129k + 107.
add 9(k+13)+10(12k−1)
