2x(5x^2-4x+4)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x(5x^2-4x+4)
------
You didn't say, but you probably want to multiply those.
2x(5x^2 - 4x + 4)
= 2x*5x^2 - 2x*4x + 2x*4
-----------
2x*5x^2 = 10x^3
2*5 = 10
x*x^2 = x^3 (add the exponents when you multiply)
-----
2x*4x = 8x^2
------
--> 10x%5E3+-+8x%5E2+%2B+8x
