To simplify the expression \( 9(k + \frac{1}{3}) + 10(\frac{1}{2}k - 1) \), we will distribute and then combine like terms.
-
Distribute \( 9 \) in the first term: \[ 9(k + \frac{1}{3}) = 9k + 9 \times \frac{1}{3} = 9k + 3 \]
-
Distribute \( 10 \) in the second term: \[ 10(\frac{1}{2}k - 1) = 10 \times \frac{1}{2}k - 10 \times 1 = 5k - 10 \]
-
Now, combine the two results: \[ 9k + 3 + 5k - 10 \]
-
Combine like terms: \[ (9k + 5k) + (3 - 10) = 14k - 7 \]
Thus, the final result is: \[ \boxed{14k - 7} \]
