homework and exercises - How much work is done when pushing against a brick wall?



So this is one of the questions on my physics assessment and I would like to know how to calculate how much work is done when pushing against a brick wall.


My teacher has told me the calculation is: weight(kg)x10 (this gives me the force)x distance.



But what is the weight of and the distance of? As when you push against a brick wall the wall doesn't move and you can stop yourself from moving.


Please answer as soon as possible, also I'm kind of younger so could you explain clearly(sorry)
