Answer:

10 + 2x

also,

2x + 10

Explanation:

"a number value" is the unknown, so use a variable (letter) I used x, but could be almost any letter (avoid e and i, they have other math meanings)

"10 more than" means to add on 10. You can do that up front or at the end. Order is way more important for subtracting, so no worries here.

"product" means multiplying. So the "product of 2 and a number" is 2x.

So to translate this word phrase into an algebraic expression, you get:

10 + 2x

but also 2x + 10 is the same thing.
