Multipying whole numbers by 10 is easy. You just put a zero at the end.
1x10 = 10
2x10=20
etc.
It only gets hard when you have to do other things or if the numbers aren't whole numbers.
If you add first (shown by using parentheses), then you tack 0 on afterwords.
(2+3) x 10 = 50 because 2+3=5 and then 5x10 = 50.
