While expand we follow one simple rule to multiply everything in the bracket to everything outside when it is in multiplication. To simplify this you can say that:
#(a+b)x=ax+bx#
That works for everything, let it be 1000 numbers or subtraction or anything.
So, we get
#2x xx7x+10xx70x#
Simply multiply
#14x^2+70x#
As it can't be simplifed more, this is your answer
