I’m a bit confused, why does the elastic potential energy equation have two different abreviation of extension, for example one equation says: 1/2 kx^2 ,but another says kx^2, i don’t know which ones right?

As Shri said, e and x are used interchangeably, but the equation will always have the 1/2. Any equation omitting that 1/2 is incorrect.
