The answer is -6 and 10.

(-6) + 10 = 4 and (-6) x 10 is -60.

You would find this answer by using the quadratic formula: x = (-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a. Substituting -60 and 4, it would look like (4±√((-4)^2-4(1)(-60)))/2(1). After simplifying, you would be left with the equations x = 4 + 16/2 = 10 and x = 4 - 16/2 = -6.
