You asked:

Simplify the expression: 3(k−1)+2(3k+4)3 \left(k - 1\right) + 2 \left(3 k + 4\right)

MathBot Answer:

Simplified:

3(k−1)+2(3k+4)=9k+5 3 \left(k - 1\right) + 2 \left(3 k + 4\right) = 9 k + 5

3(k−1)+2⋅(3k+4)=2⋅(3k+4)+3k−3=3k−3+6k+8=9k+5\begin{aligned}3 \left(k - 1\right) + 2 \cdot \left(3 k + 4\right)&=2 \cdot \left(3 k + 4\right) + 3 k - 3\\&=3 k - 3 + 6 k + 8\\&=9 k + 5\end{aligned}
