Answer

3k + 3

3 steps

Distribute the negative sign into the parenthesis.
The expression is $2k - (3 - k) + 6$ .
When a negative sign precedes a parenthesis, it changes the sign of each term inside the parenthesis:
$2k - 3 + k + 6$
Identify and combine like terms.
The like terms are the terms with $k$ and the constant terms.
Combine the $k$ terms: $2k + k = 3k$ .
Combine the constant terms: $-3 + 6 = 3$ .
Write the simplified expression.
Combine the results from Step 2:
$3k + 3$
