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

Answer:
As the lines are not intersecting nor parallel, they must be skew.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question is incomplete, we consider the nearest match available online.
Parametric equations of two lines are:
L₁ : x=4t+2 , y = 3 , z =-t+1
L₂: x=2s+2 , y= 2s+5 , z = s+1
If lines are parallel then parametric coordinates must be equal scalar multiple of each other which s not true here.
If lines are intersecting then parametric coordinates must be equal for some value of t and s.
Hence the lines are not intersecting nor parallel, they must be skew.
