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:

$= 17k + 16$
