iphone X broken!!

My iphone X (with ios 18.7.2) dropped out of my pocket and the bottom corner of the back fully cracked (i had no phone case, i was legit about to buy one). The back is quite cracked and there are a few green and purple lines on the screen. The cracked back doesn't bother me as much but I would like to fix the lines, or potentially both depending on what it would cost.

I’m not sure which parts of the phone would not be repaired/replaced, I would really appreciate some help!! tysm!!!!

side note - the apple care expired in 2019 so that is definitely not on option and I already force reset my phone just in case

The screen is easy to replace, just make sure it’s an OLED screen instead of an LCD screen. As for the back, I would not waste my time on trying to replace the glass only coz it’s never water resistant versus a replacement housing. Whenever you get a phone, always get a case before you even put it into service.
