use the properties of operations to write an expression equivalent to 2 (k + 4) + 5. the answer should be in simplest form. what is the constant value (no variables) in the equivalent expression? (1point)

The original expression is 2(k + 4) + 5. Using the distributive property, we can simplify this expression as follows:

2(k + 4) + 5 = 2k + 8 + 5 = 2k + 13.

In the simplified expression 2k + 13, the constant value is 13.
