Answer: 7k^2+2k+10

Step-by-step explanation: To simplify this, you need to combine like terms, which are just the numbers that have the same variables and exponents. Combine 2k^2 and 5k^5 and it is 7k^2 (Just add the coefficient). Then do 3k -k, which is 2k. k just represents 1, so basically, 3-1. Finally, 7 + 3, which is 10. Then, combine the results to form an expression, which is 7k^2+2k+10.
