I'm pretty sure 13(19-x) is the simplest form you can go.
Refer explanation.

Explanation:

Normally, if this was a simplification related question, it would be like ' Simplify 247-13x ' and you would pull the common factor out which is 13 to obtain the simplest form of the equation.

This looks like an evaluate-question where you need to multiply 13 to both terms inside the bracket which are 19 & x.

Thus, your answer would be 247-13x

If I'm wrong, please do correct me.
