To simplify the expression \((h+k)-(2k-h)\), we can use the properties of operations, specifically the distributive property and the properties of combining like terms. Let's go through the steps:

  1. Distribute the negative sign across the second parentheses: \[ (h + k) - (2k - h) = (h + k) - 2k + h \]

  2. Combine like terms: \[ h + h + k - 2k = 2h + k - 2k \]

  3. Further simplify: \[ 2h + (k - 2k) = 2h - k \]

So the simplified expression is \(2h - k\).

Thus, the correct response is:

2h−k
