If we have the expression:
4(5x^2+3^3) * 10x
does it simplify to
40x(5x^2+3)
or
200x^3+120x?

Symbolab.com claims that it's the former but I think it that the latter is correct...don't we not just FOIL in this case or is there some rule I've forgotten?

It's the same thing, you get from (2) to (3) by distribution laws.
