Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's solve it correctly:
To add 9(k+1/3) + 10(1/2k-1), we first simplify the expressions within the parentheses:
1/3 multiplied by k is (1/3)k.
1/3 multiplied by 1 is 1/3.
Similarly, 1/2k multiplied by 10 is (10/2k), or 5/k.
1 multiplied by 10 is 10.
Now, we can rewrite the expression as:
9(k + 1/3) + 10(1/2k - 1) = 9k + 9(1/3) + 10(5/k - 10)
Next, let's distribute the coefficients:
9k + 9(1/3) + 10(5/k) - 10(10)
Multiplying 9 by 1/3 gives us 9/3, which simplifies to 3.
Now we have:
9k + 3 + 10(5/k) - 100
We can simplify further:
The first two terms, 9k and 3, do not have any common factors or like terms, so they cannot be combined.
For the second two terms, 10(5/k) - 100, we can combine them into one fraction:
10(5/k) - 100 = 50/k - 100
Finally, we have:
9k + 3 + 50/k - 100
This is the simplified expression for 9(k+1/3) + 10(1/2k-1).
