Remove the parentheses using the distributive property and then combine like terms.

#17k + 16#

#2(4k+3)) +(9k+10)#

#= color(red)(2 xx (4k + 3)) +9k +10" "# gives the expression

#= color(red)( 8k + 6) +9k +10" "#

# =8k + 6 + 9k + 10" "# combining like terms gives

# =8k + 9k + 6 + 10" "# commutative property of addition:

#= 17k + 16#
