Simplifying this give us $3k+11$ . See below on the steps.

So before we start simplifying this, we need to distribute the negative sign to $(2k-1)$ which gives us this:

$5k+10-2k+1$

Simplifying this by combining like term gives us:

$3k+11$

How do you simplify (5k + 10) - (2k - 1)(5k + 10) - (2k - 1)?
