Use the properties of operations add 9(k+1/3)+10(1/2k-1)

1 answer

To simplify the expression, let's use the distributive property of multiplication over addition/subtraction:

9(k + 1/3) + 10(1/2k - 1)

= 9k + 9(1/3) + 10(1/2k) + 10(-1)

= 9k + 3 + 5k + (-10)

= 9k + 5k + 3 - 10

Now, combining like terms:

= (9k + 5k) + (3 - 10)

= 14k + (-7)

Simplified expression: 14k - 7
