I like your make shift use of symbols.  I know exactly what you mean :))

 

\(\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{20}\;\;2k(k-1)\;\;\\~\\ =2\left[\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{20}\;\;k^2\quad-\quad \displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{20}\;\;k\right]\;\;\\~\\ =2\left[\frac{1}{6}*20*(20+1)*(2*20+1)\quad-\quad \frac{20}{2}(1+20)\right]\;\;\\~\\ =2\left[\frac{1}{6}*20*21*41\quad-\quad 10*21\right]\;\;\\~\\ =2\left[\frac{1}{1}*10*7*41\quad-\quad 210\right]\;\;\\~\\ =5320\)

 

I did not know the formula for the sum of squares, I looked it up here
