To simplify the expression \( 17d - 33 + 9(2d - 11) \), first distribute the 9 through the parentheses:
\( 17d - 33 + 9 \cdot 2d - 9 \cdot 11 \)
Doing the multiplication gives:
\( 17d - 33 + 18d - 99 \)
Now combine like terms:
\( 17d + 18d - 33 - 99 \)
\( 35d - 132 \)
The simplified expression is:
\( 35d - 132 \)
Simplify 17d-33+9(2d-11)
