The given expression is 2(k+4)+5.
To simplify the expression, we can distribute the 2 into the parentheses:
2(k+4) = 2k + 2(4) = 2k + 8
So the equivalent expression becomes 2k + 8 + 5.
To simplify further, we can combine like terms:
2k + 8 + 5 = 2k + 13
The constant value in the equivalent expression is 13.
