Answer:

(x+10)(x-10)

Explanation:

The factor for x+10 is x+10 itself.

(x+10) = x+10

(x+10) occurs 1 time.

The factor for x-10 is x-10 itself.

(x-10) = x-10

(x+10) occurs 1 time.

The LCM of x+10, x-10 is the result of multiplying all factors the greatest number of times they occur in either term.

(x+10)(x-10)
