Let's simplify the given expression step by step using the properties of operations:
1. Distribute the 9 to both terms inside the parentheses: 9(k) + 9(1/3) + 10(1/2 * k - 1).
This simplifies to: 9k + 3 + 10(1/2 * k - 1).
2. Distribute the 10 to both terms inside the parentheses: 9k + 3 + 10(1/2 * k) + 10(-1).
This simplifies to: 9k + 3 + 5k - 10.
3. Combine like terms: 9k + 5k + 3 - 10.
This simplifies to: 14k - 7.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 14k - 7.
Use the properties of operations to add 9(k + 1/3) + 10(1/2 * k - 1) (1 point)
14k + 13
19 1/2 * k - 2/3
14k - 2/3
14k - 7
