(7+5) + 4*13 - 2 = 12 + 52 - 2 = 64

To simplify the expression (7+5)+4⋅13−2, you can perform the operations according to the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS or BODMAS).

1. Start by performing the operations within the parentheses:
(7+5) = 12

2. Next, perform the multiplication:
4⋅13 = 52

3. Now, combine the results from step 1 and step 2 with the remaining operations:
12 + 52 - 2

4. Finally, perform the addition and subtraction:
12 + 52 = 64
64 - 2 = 62

Therefore, the simplified expression is 62.
