Find the coefficient of the x^3 term in (1+x)^2(1+x)^8

$\noindent \textbf{Hint.} Since the base is the same ($(1+x)$ both times), we can combine the two factors:$

$(1+x)^{2}(1+x)^{8} = (1+x)^{???}.$

$\noindent See if you can fill in the ``???'' using your knowledge of index laws, and then make use of the binomial theorem.$
