To add the expression \( 9(k + \frac{1}{3}) + 10(\frac{1}{2}k - 1) \), we'll first distribute the constants (9 and 10) across the terms in the parentheses.
-
Distributing: \[ 9(k) + 9\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) + 10\left(\frac{1}{2}k\right) - 10(1) \] becomes: \[ 9k + 3 + 5k - 10 \]
-
Next, combine like terms:
- Combine the \(k\) terms: \(9k + 5k = 14k\)
- Combine the constant terms: \(3 - 10 = -7\)
So, the expression simplifies to: \[ 14k - 7 \]
Out of the provided options, the correct answer is: \(14k - 7\).
