To simplify the expression, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) which states that we should simplify within parentheses first, then perform any multiplication or division from left to right, and lastly, perform any addition or subtraction from left to right.
(7 + 5) + 4 × 13 - 2
First, simplify within the parentheses:
12 + 4 × 13 - 2
Next, perform the multiplication:
12 + 52 - 2
Finally, perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:
64 - 2
= 62
Therefore, the simplified expression is 62.
