We should solve this using the order of operations, meaning we should start by distributing the 8 in the parentheses.
15k+8(11-k)
15k+88-8k
Now, we should combine our like-terms,
7k+88
There is nothing else we can do to this equation, so it is simplified. Using the math above, we can see the simplest form of this equation is 7k+88.
