To simplify the expression 13 - 2(1 - 15)/4, we need to follow the order of operations, which is commonly known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction).

The expression inside the parentheses can be simplified first:
1 - 15 = -14

Now, substituting back into the original expression:
13 - 2(-14)/4

The next step is to multiply:
-2 * -14 = 28

Now, substituting back into the expression:
13 - 28/4

The next step is to divide:
28 / 4 = 7

Finally, substituting back into the expression:
13 - 7 = 6

Therefore, the simplified expression is 6.
