Question 37

Starting with the polynomial $x^2 + 10x + 20$, a move is to change the coefficient of $x$ by $1$ or to change the coefficient of $x^0$ by $1$ (but not both). After a series of moves the polynomial is changed to $x^2 + 20x + 10$. Is it true that at some intermediate point the polynomial had integer roots?
