Documentation of Procedural Steps for Cost Rationalization

A procurement officer is updating the department's standard operating procedure (SOP) manual and needs to document the exact steps taken to simplify the cost-efficiency formula: n2n10100n10\frac{n^2}{n-10} - \frac{100}{n-10}.

In your own words, outline the three-step mathematical process used to reduce this specific expression to the binomial n+10n + 10. Be sure to name the specific factoring pattern used during the second step.
