k + 52
Like "52 more than 10" would be 10 + 52 = 62
You might not know what k is, but you know it's a number, and so you know you can add 52 to it like any other number. Whatever k is, there is a number that is 52 more than it, and this can be expressed "k + 52".
Whenever you have phrases like this that you're trying to write as expressions, break it down and think about examples with easy numbers that will help you figure out what to do.
