\left(x+10\right)x+x=\left(x-10\right)\left(x+11\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -10,10 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-10\right)\left(x+10\right), the least common multiple of x-10,x^{2}-100,x+10.
x^{2}+10x+x=\left(x-10\right)\left(x+11\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x+10 by x.
x^{2}+11x=\left(x-10\right)\left(x+11\right)
Combine 10x and x to get 11x.
x^{2}+11x=x^{2}+x-110
Use the distributive property to multiply x-10 by x+11 and combine like terms.
x^{2}+11x-x^{2}=x-110
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
11x=x-110
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
11x-x=-110
Subtract x from both sides.
10x=-110
Combine 11x and -x to get 10x.
x=\frac{-110}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
x=-11
Divide -110 by 10 to get -11.
