Since 2+√3 is a zero, x-(2+√3) is a factor of the polynomial.
Since 2-√3 is a zero, x-(2-√3) is a factor of the polynomial.
This means that (x-2-√3)(x-2+√3) is a factor.
(x-2-√3)(x-2+√3) = (x-2)² - (√3)² = x² -4x +4 - 3 = x²-4x+1
So x²-4x+1 is a factor of your polynomial.
Divide your polynomial by x²-4x+1, using synthetic division.
x⁴ -6x³-26x²+138x-35 = (x²-4x+1)(x²-2x-35)
So to find other zeros, you need to solve
x²-2x-35 = 0
(x-7)(x+5)=0
x=7 or x=-5
