Will give you your answer
The answer is 2k^2 - 7k - 4 because 2k x k is 2k^2 and 2k x (-4) is -8k and 1 x k is k and 1 x (-4) is -4. So then you would get 2k^2 - 8k + k - 4 which simplifies to 2k^2 - 7k - 4 which is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:
EXPLANATION:
STEPS:
1.First we have to find the partial distances in the two equations given and then find the total, but to do so we must find the value of x, then replace it in each of the equations and finally the sum will give us the total of all the magnitudes.
2.
