Answer:

-6, +10

Explanation:

You are looking for factors of -60 that have a sum of 4. It can be helpful to list them so that they have a positive sum.

-60 = (-1)(60) = (-2)(30) = (-3)(20) = (-4)(15) = (-5)(12) = (-6)(10)

The sums are 59, 28, 17, 11, 7, 4. The factor pair of -60 that has a sum of 4 is ...

-6 and 10

_____

Additional comment

The square root of 60 is between 7 and 8, neither of which are factors of 60. That means the above list includes all of the factor pairs of 60. We have chosen the signs so that the sums are positive and the product is negative.
