To simplify the expression 9(k + 1/3) + 10(1/2k - 1), we distribute the numbers outside the parentheses to the terms inside:
9(k) + 9(1/3) + 10(1/2k) - 10(1)
This simplifies to:
9k + 3 + 5k - 10
Combining like terms:
14k - 7
Therefore, the simplified expression is 14k - 7.
use the properties of operations to add 9(k + 1/3) + 10 (1/2 k - 1)
14k + 13
19 1/2k - 2/3

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's simplify the expression again correctly.
9(k + 1/3) + 10(1/2k - 1)
First, distribute 9 to both terms inside the parentheses:
9k + 9(1/3) + 10(1/2k - 1)
This simplifies to:
9k + 3 + 10(1/2k) - 10(1)
Next, distribute 10 to both terms inside the parentheses:
9k + 3 + 5k - 10 - 10
Combining like terms:
14k - 7
Therefore, the simplified expression is 14k - 7.
9(k + 1/3) + 10(1/2k - 1)
First, distribute 9 to both terms inside the parentheses:
9k + 9(1/3) + 10(1/2k - 1)
This simplifies to:
9k + 3 + 10(1/2k) - 10(1)
Next, distribute 10 to both terms inside the parentheses:
9k + 3 + 5k - 10 - 10
Combining like terms:
14k - 7
Therefore, the simplified expression is 14k - 7.
