That is exactly equivalent to:

nums = []

for x in range(y):
    for y in range(10):
        nums.append(x + y)

I'll leave it to you to work out the required modification to make the above list comprehension work.

As a rule of thumb - keep list comprehensions very simple. Otherwise they become incomprehensible ...
