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
The constant value, i.e., the value with no variables in the equivalent expression, is 13.
To find the expression in simplest form, we can apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition. Firstly, we distribute the 2 to both k and 4:
2(k+4) + 5 = (2 * k) + (2 * 4) + 5
Simplifying further, we get:
= 2k + 8 + 5
= 2k + 13
Thus, the expression in simplest form is 2k + 13, and the constant value is 13.
