Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 9(k + \frac{1}{3}) + 10(\frac{1}{2}k - 1) \), we will distribute and combine like terms.

1. Distribute \(9\) in the first term: \[ 9(k + \frac{1}{3}) = 9k + 9 \cdot \frac{1}{3} = 9k + 3 \]

2. Distribute \(10\) in the second term: \[ 10\left(\frac{1}{2}k - 1\right) = 10 \cdot \frac{1}{2}k - 10 \cdot 1 = 5k - 10 \]

3. Combine both results: \[ 9k + 3 + 5k - 10 \]

4. Combine like terms: \[ (9k + 5k) + (3 - 10) = 14k - 7 \]

So, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{14k - 7} \]
