Evaluate the expression for \( k = 8.2 \) and \( m = 0.9 \).

Write your answer as a decimal or whole number.

\( km + k = \)

Solution

To evaluate the expression \( km + k \) for \( k = 8.2 \) and \( m = 0.9 \): Substitute the values of \( k \) and \( m \) into the expression: \[ km + k = 8.2 \times 0.9 + 8.2 \] Calculate \( 8.2 \times 0.9 \): \[ 8.2 \times 0.9 = 7.38 \] Add \( 7.38 \) and \( 8.2 \): \[ 7.38 + 8.2 = 15.58 \] So, the answer is \( 15.58 \).
