Another tricky 700 level problem

Does anyone have any idea how to set this problem up for solving? (the below problem is supposed to be in a grid)
And is a problem like this frequently seen in the quant section of the GMAT?

What is m+n?

+ x y z
4 1 -5 m
e 7 n 10
f 2 -4 5

Any help would be appreciated.

mp2437,

Thank you very much for the help. I will edit the question on the right handside so it is correct.

What's also interesting, is this question was the first question on the GMATPrep Software, which I downloaded from mba.com!

Thanks again.

November Rain,

Yes the placement of the number 2 is correct; that is one of the primary pieces of the problem that really confused me.
