Solution Steps
Step 1: Set Up the Equation
We start with the quadratic equation:
\[
x^{2} + 4x - 10 = 0
\]
Step 2: Solve for \( x \)
Using the quadratic formula or factoring, we find the solutions:
\[
x = -2 + \sqrt{14} \quad \text{and} \quad x = -2 - \sqrt{14}
\]
Step 3: Simplify the Solutions
The solutions can be expressed as:
\[
x_1 = -2 + \sqrt{14}, \quad x_2 = -2 - \sqrt{14}
\]
Final Answer
The solution set is:
\[
\boxed{-2 + \sqrt{14}, -2 - \sqrt{14}}
\]
