To distribute \( 2x(2x + 5) \), you will multiply \( 2x \) by both terms inside the parentheses:

\[
2x(2x + 5) = 2x \cdot 2x + 2x \cdot 5
\]

Calculating each part:

1. \( 2x \cdot 2x = 4x^2 \)
2. \( 2x \cdot 5 = 10x \)

Now combine these results:

\[
2x(2x + 5) = 4x^2 + 10x
\]

So, the distributed expression is:

\[
\boxed{4x^2 + 10x}
\]
