To simplify the given expression, we can combine like terms and perform addition:
(5x + 13x - 26) + (x + 4)
Combining like terms within the parentheses:
18x - 26 + x + 4
Combining like terms again:
19x - 22
Now the expression is simplified to 19x - 22.
Since no division is involved in the expression, there is no quotient or remainder. The simplified expression is 19x - 22.
