Mathematics (and Science) Instruction by a Mathematician!
Take x, multiply it by itself (that is x squared, written x^2 or x2), then add 10...
we get x^2+10 or x2+10 as an expression.
If for example x=5, we could take 5*5+10 and get 35. In general, for an unknown quantity x, we express the result of x squared plus 10 as above.
