Answered by GPT-4o mini
To simplify the expression \( 6k - 7(-k - 7) \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute \(-7\) across the expression inside the parentheses:
\[
-7(-k - 7) = 7k + 49
\]

2. Now substitute this back into the original expression:
\[
6k + 7k + 49
\]

3. Combine like terms:
\[
(6k + 7k) + 49 = 13k + 49
\]

So, the simplified expression is:
\[
13k + 49
\]
