If you do it by Pascal's Triangle:
Row 0: 1
Row 1: 1 1
Row 2: 1 2 1
Row 3: 1 3 3 1
Row 4: 1 4 6 4 1
Row 5: 1 5 10 10 5 1
Row 6: 1 6 15 20 15 6 1
Row 7: 1 7 21 35 35 21 7 1
Row 8: 1 8 28 56 70 ...
Row 9: 1 9 36 84 126 ...
Row 10: 1 10 45 120 210 ... <---> 1x^10 + 10x^9y^1 + 45x^8y^2 + 120x^7y^3
If you do it by combinations, you want 10nCr7 = 120
(the 10 comes from row 10, determined by the sum of the two exponents, the 7 comes from the exponent of the x-term).
