To solve this expression, we will follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS):
1. First, we need to simplify the expression in parentheses: (1-15).
1 - 15 = -14
2. Next, we multiply -14 by 2: -14 * 2 = -28
3. Now, we can rewrite the expression as: 13 - (-28) divided by 4.
4. Division is performed before subtraction, so we divide -28 by 4: -28 / 4 = -7.
5. Finally, we can rewrite the expression as: 13 - (-7).
6. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, so -(-7) = 7.
7. Therefore, the final result is 13 + 7 = 20.
13 - 2(1-15) divided by 4
