# I shouldn't be wrong!

It should be -2. Why did they sum the 20? 20 is a constant, not a coefficient, right? And also, the solution has one more error also.. Look at the part when the $$x^2$$ is multiplied with the function inside the bracket besides it.

Edit: I know that after 20 there is a variable of x which has power of 0. But, isn't it still a constant?

Yes, it is a constant. And it is the co-efficient of $$x^0$$.

The coefficient of the constant term $$20 x^0$$ is 20.

Thanks for pointing out the typo in the solution. I've edited it. It should say -3 instead of -5 throughout, and in the second solution $$31$$ should be replaced by $$3 \times 1$$. The final answer of 18 is still correct.
