The solution

You have entered [src]
(x + 20)*(-x + 10) = 0
$$\left(10 - x\right) \left(x + 20\right) = 0$$
Detail solution
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(10 - x\right) \left(x + 20\right) = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$- x^{2} - 10 x + 200 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = -1$$
$$b = -10$$
$$c = 200$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-10)^2 - 4 * (-1) * (200) = 900

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = -20$$
$$x_{2} = 10$$

$$-200$$
-200
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = -20
$$x_{1} = -20$$
x2 = 10
$$x_{2} = 10$$
x2 = 10
Numerical answer [src]
x1 = -20.0
x2 = 10.0
x2 = 10.0
