First thing you are going to do is multiply 2 times x which will give you 2x. Then, you multiply 2 times 5 which gives you 10. The number 2 gets distributed to both the coefficient and variable in the parentheses. The final answer would be 2x + 10 since they are not like terms. Hope this helps! (I’m so sorry if I’m wrong)
