let the two numbers be x and y
From the first sentence,
xy=24
x+y=10
Then make y in equation 2 the subject of the formular and substitute in equation 1
x+y=10
y=10-x
substituting in equation 2
x(10-x)=24
open the bracket
10x-x^2=24
=-x^2+10x=24
Transfer the constant to the left hand side
=-x^2+10x-24=0
Then factorise completely

Remark
The proof is only true if m and n are equal. Make it more general.
m = 2k
n = 2v
m + n = 2k + 2v = 2(k + v).
k and v can be equal but many times they are not. From that simple equation you cannot do anything for sure but divide by 2.
There are 4 combinations
m is divisible by 4 and n is not. The result will not be divisible by 4.
m is not divisible by 4 but n is. The result will not be divisible by 4.
But are divisible by 4 then the sum will be as well. Here's the really odd result
If both are even and not divisible by 4 then their sum is divisible by 4

Answer:
x = 3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, intercepts made by parallel lines on the transversals are in proportion.
AB = BC.... (given)
From equations (1) & (2)
Therefore,
7x - 9 = 2x + 7
7x - 2x = 9 + 7
5x = 16
x = 16/5
x = 3.2
