    (i) 2(45) = 90   (ii) 2(5(45)+4+3+2+1)) = 470

$$\: \\ $$$$\:\left({i}\right)\:\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{45}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{90} \\ $$$$\left.\:\left({ii}\right)\:\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{5}\left(\mathrm{45}\right)+\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{2}+\mathrm{1}\right)\right)\:=\:\mathrm{470} \\ $$
