Hi Krisiver, thanks for answering. 

We need lots of answerers but in this instance your answer is not quite right.

------------------------------

You will not be able to simplify it if k is irrational.  You could approximate it BUT you can not simplify it.

 

22/7 is NOT an irrational number  - nor is it the value of pi.

It is an approximate value for pi.

well, it depends on the irrational number. I am going to use a popular one 22/7 , this is pi

by substituting pi into 32k, you get 32×3.14 = 100.53, hence 32k + 405 = 505. 53
