Given that p < q, find the values of p and q in the following pairs of equations:
\begin{aligned} p + q &= 19 \\ p q &= 90 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} p + q &= - 2 \\ p q &= - 63 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} p + q &= - 10 \\ p q &= 24 \end{aligned}
Complete the following equations:
\left(m + 4\right) \left(⬚\right) = m^{2} + 10 m + 24
\left(y - 14\right) \left(⬚\right) = y^{2} - 12 y - 28
\left(m + 8\right)\left(⬚\right)=m^{2} + 18 m + 80
\left(x-2\right) \left(⬚\right) = x^{2} - 6 x + 8
Find the values of m and n that will make the equation true: y^{2} + m y + 35 = \left(y + 5\right) \left(y + n\right)
