The solutions to the equation \( x^2 + 10 = 26 \) can be found by first solving for \( x^2 \):

1. Subtract 10 from both sides:
\[
x^2 = 26 - 10
\]
\[
x^2 = 16
\]

2. Take the square root of both sides:
\[
x = \pm 4
\]

Thus, the solutions are \( x = -4 \) and \( x = 4 \).

In set notation, the solutions can be expressed as:
\[
\{-4, 4\}
\]
