Which expression is equivalent to \( 10 k+17-7 j-18-11 k ? \) \( -8 j k-1 \) \( -7 j-k-1 \) \( -7 j+k+1 \) \( -8 j-k \)

To simplify the expression \( 10 k + 17 - 7 j - 18 - 11 k \), we first combine like terms. We can rearrange it as follows: 1. Combine \( 10 k \) and \( -11 k \): \( 10 k - 11 k = -k \). 2. Combine the constant terms: \( 17 - 18 = -1 \). 3. The expression now looks like: \( -k - 7 j - 1 \). Thus, the simplified expression is \( -7 j - k - 1 \), which means the correct answer is \( -7 j - k - 1 \).
