2x5+8x416x3+16x218x+10

Explanation:

Expand the 2 'pairs' of brackets

ie (2x2+2)(x+5)and(x1)(x1)

using the FOIL method on each pair to obtain :

(2x3+10x2+2x+10)(x2xx+1)

=(2x3+10x2+2x+10)(x22x+1)

Now each term in the 2nd bracket must be multiplied by each
term in the 1st.

ie 2x3(x22x+1)+10x2(x22x+1)+2x(x22x+1)

+10(x22x+1)

=2x52x4+2x3+10x420x3+10x2+2x34x2

+2x+10x220x+10

now collect 'like terms'

=2x5+8x416x3+16x218x+10
