Try every possible combination you can find. Either one of them will work or none of them will work. Factors of 10 are 1 & 10, and 2 & 5. Factors of 20 are 1 & 20, 2 & 10, 4 & 5.
(x  1)(10x  20)

(x  20)(10x  1)

(x  2)(10x  10)

(x 10)(10x 2)

and several more different combinations to check...


You might get tired doing that way but you will find what you need.


Discriminant,
