[(4 + 6) - 10][2 + 8]
[10 - 10][10]
0 x 10 = 0

And you have to use all the numbers, right? Here you go:

((6+4) - (8+2)) * 10, or
(10 - 6 - 4) * (8+2), or
(10 - 6 - 4) * (8-2), etc.

One way to think about this problem is to think about operations that always give you zero. For example, 0 times any number is 0. So if you can use a subset of numbers to get zero (6-4-2), for example, then just keep multiplying this (0) by all the other numbers.

Best of luck,
