First, we need to calculate the multiplication to simplify the expression: 4⋅13 = 52.

Now, we can simplify the expression: (7+5)+52-2.
Next, we simplify the addition in parentheses: 12+52-2.
Now, we can continue to simplify the expression: 64-2.
Finally, we perform the subtraction to obtain the final result: 62.

To simplify the expression (7+5)+4⋅13−2, we follow the order of operations, which is also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).

First, we simplify within the parentheses:
(7+5)+4⋅13−2
= 12 + 4⋅13−2
= 12 + 52 − 2

Next, we perform the multiplication:
= 12 + 52 − 2
= 12 + 52 - 2
= 64 - 2

Finally, we perform the addition and subtraction:
= 64 - 2
= 62

Therefore, the simplified expression is 62.
