If the problem is sqrt%28x%29%2B4=10, then

sqrt%28x%29%2B4=10

sqrt%28x%29=10-4

sqrt%28x%29=6

x=6%5E2

x=36

So the solution to sqrt%28x%29%2B4=10 is x=36

-------------------------------------------------------------------

OR

if the problem is sqrt%28x%2B4%29=10, then

sqrt%28x%2B4%29=10

x%2B4=10%5E2

x%2B4=100

x=100-4

x=96

So the solution to sqrt%28x%2B4%29=10 is x=96
