To convert the equation \( y = 2(x - 5)^2 - 10 \) to standard form, we need to expand the expression.

1. Start with the equation:
\[
y = 2(x - 5)^2 - 10
\]

2. Expand \((x - 5)^2\):
\[
(x - 5)^2 = x^2 - 10x + 25
\]

3. Substitute back into the equation:
\[
y = 2(x^2 - 10x + 25) - 10
\]

4. Distribute the 2:
\[
y = 2x^2 - 20x + 50 - 10
\]

5. Combine like terms:
\[
y = 2x^2 - 20x + 40
\]

Now the equation is in standard form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), where \( a = 2 \), \( b = -20 \), and \( c = 40 \).

Thus, the standard form of the equation is:
\[
y = 2x^2 - 20x + 40
\]
