Use the numbers 1 - 10 in the places marked with an X? In place of the hyphens (dashes? minus signs?)?

...so that each row equals 23 when the numbers are added? multiplied? This "first grade 'challenge' problem" cannot be solved because there isn't enough instruction given--unless using creativity to decide on the rules for the problem so it can be solved is the point of the "challenge".
