To simplify my writhing, I introduce new variables


    a = sqrt%28x%29;  b = sqrt%28y%29;  c = sqrt%28z%29.


Then from the given conditions, I have


    a + b + c = 10           (1)

    a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 38     (2)

    ab + ac + bc = 30.       (3)


Square equation (1)  and use this identity  (a+b+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2ab + 2ac + 2bc.

You will get then


    10^2 = 38 + 2*30,   or

    100  = 38 + 60 = 98.     (4)


Since equality (4) is IMPOSSIBLE, it means that the given system of equations HAS NO solution.

Proved and solved.

Explained and completed.
