Full solution

Q. Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression:\newlinek+3k=-k+3k=
  1. Identify like terms: Identify like terms in the expression k+3k-k + 3k.\newlineLike terms are terms that contain the same variable raised to the same power. Here, both terms contain the variable kk raised to the first power.
  2. Combine like terms: Combine the like terms by adding their coefficients.\newlineThe coefficients of k-k and 3k3k are 1-1 and 33, respectively. When we combine them, we add the coefficients together while keeping the variable kk.\newlineCalculation: 1+3=2-1 + 3 = 2\newlineSo, k+3k=2k-k + 3k = 2k
