The simplest way to solve this equation is to find in the Internet the 11-th row of the Pascal's triangle. I found it at this link http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMAT6680Su12/Berryman/6690/BerrymanK-Pascals/BerrymanK-Pascals.html and found the value of r= 3 in this way. The last step is to check this solution:= = 10*3*4 = 120. ! Correct !
