See a solution process below:

Multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

$5 (4 x - 13) \Rightarrow$ $color(red)(5)(4x - 13) =>$

$(5 \times 4 x) - (5 \times 13) \Rightarrow$ $(color(red)(5) xx 4x) - (color(red)(5) xx 13) =>$

$20 x - 65$ $20x - 65$

How do you simplify 5(4x−13)5(4x-13)?
