Answer 1

Abagail, did you see my reading post I sent you last night? If not, I need to repost.

Now, if you meant 5*(2x)²) you can add exponents here like this
5*(2x)^2 which of course it 5 *4x^2 or
20x^2

* means multiply, dont use x, as we use x for a variable.
/ means divide
^ means exponent follows

Answer 2
