Im working with foil distribution system, and the distribution says that x times 2x= 2x^2. why does it make it squared equation? wouldn't it just be 2x because 1x times 2x equals 2x?

Sandy is upgrading her internet service. fast internet charges $20 for installation and $52.45 per month. quick internet has free installation but charges $57.45 per month. part 1 out of 2 complete the equation that can be used to find the number of months after which the internet service would cost the same. use the variable x to represent the number of months of internet service purchased.
