In general, in PARI/GP, you can do this:

%1 = -4019

%2 = [1, 4019]
The quantity (x+10) must divide into 4019, basically,
and since 4019 is prime, that leaves 4 possibilities
for x: -4029, -11, -9, and 4009.
You should probably check that all 4 of these
x values lead to different integers, and they do,
so there are 4 solutions for n=10.
