$x=-10,7$

There are two solutions.

$x+10=0$ and $x-7=0$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$x+10=0$

Subtract $10$ from both sides.

$x=-10$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$x-7=0$

Add $7$ to both sides.

$x=7$

How do you solve (x+10)(x-7)=0(x+10)(x-7)=0?
