Answered by GPT-4o mini
To simplify the expression \( 2(5^2 - 2(9 + 1)) \), we will follow the order of operations:

1. **Calculate inside the parentheses:**
\[
9 + 1 = 10
\]
So now, the expression becomes:
\[
2(5^2 - 2 \cdot 10)
\]

2. **Calculate \( 5^2 \):**
\[
5^2 = 25
\]
Now the expression is:
\[
2(25 - 2 \cdot 10)
\]

3. **Calculate \( 2 \cdot 10 \):**
\[
2 \cdot 10 = 20
\]
The expression is now:
\[
2(25 - 20)
\]

4. **Subtract inside the parentheses:**
\[
25 - 20 = 5
\]
The expression simplifies to:
\[
2(5)
\]

5. **Finally, multiply:**
\[
2 \cdot 5 = 10
\]

Thus, the simplified expression evaluates to \( \boxed{10} \).
