$7 x - 13$ $7x - 13$

$1 + 4 (2 x - 3) - x$ $1 + 4(2x - 3) - x$

Removing the brackets..

$1 + 4 (2 x) + 4 (- 3) - x$ $1 + 4(2x) + 4(-3) - x$

Simplifying..

$1 + 8 x - 12 - x$ $1 + 8x - 12 - x$

Collecting like terms..

$1 - 12 + 8 x - x$ $1 - 12 + 8x - x$

$- 13 + 7 x$ $-13 + 7x$

$7 x - 13$ $7x - 13$
