In the expression \(2x - 20 + x^2\), we can identify the coefficients of each term:
- The term \(2x\) has a coefficient of \(2\).
- The term \(-20\) is a constant and does not have a variable coefficient.
- The term \(x^2\) has a coefficient of \(1\) (as it can be understood as \(1 \cdot x^2\)).
Among the given options:
- **20** is not a coefficient of any variable term.
- **2** is indeed the coefficient of the \(x\) term.
- **\(x^2\)** is a term and not a coefficient.
- **\(x\)** is a variable and not a coefficient.
Thus, the correct answer is:
**2**
