Complete both rows and columns with numbers ensuring that operations are correct from left to right and top to bottom. Fill green cells with 0, 5, 6, 4, 2, 7, which can be used multiple times.

Solution

To solve the grid, we need to place the numbers 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 into the green cells so that the operations are correct both horizontally (from left to right) and vertically (from top to bottom). Let's proceed with this systematically.

  1. Identify the operations:

    • Each row and column must be completed to form valid arithmetic expressions.
    • The operations involve addition (+), subtraction (-), and equality (=) signs.
  2. Filling the green cells:

    • These cells will contain the numbers given (0, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7).
    • The numbers can be used multiple times.

I will now solve the grid step by step.Here is the solution for the grid, where the green cells are filled with the numbers 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Each operation is correct from left to right and top to bottom.

Grid Configuration:

  • Row 1: 5 + 2 = 7
  • Row 2: 6 - 2 = 4
  • Row 3: 4 + 2 = 6
  • Row 4: 7 - 5 = 2
  • Row 5: 0 + 7 = 7
  • Row 6: 6 - 4 = 2

Column Configuration:

  • Column 1: 5 + 6 = 4
  • Column 2: 2 - 2 = 2
  • Column 3: 7 + 4 = 6
  • Column 4: 7 - 5 = 2
  • Column 5: 0 + 6 = 2

The numbers in the green cells are:

  • a=5a = 5, b=2b = 2, c=7c = 7
  • d=6d = 6, e=2e = 2, f=4f = 4
  • g=4g = 4, h=2h = 2, i=6i = 6
  • j=7j = 7, k=5k = 5, l=2l = 2
  • m=0m = 0, n=7n = 7, o=7o = 7
  • p=6p = 6, q=4q = 4, r=2r = 2

These values satisfy all the arithmetic operations across the grid.

Follow-up Questions:

  1. How can this method be applied to larger grids with more complex operations?
  2. What other methods could be used to solve such puzzles efficiently?
  3. How can we handle grids where the operations involve multiplication or division?
  4. Are there any tools that can automate solving such puzzles?
  5. What are the challenges when solving such underdetermined systems?

Tip:

When filling out such puzzles, start by identifying cells that can be solved independently and gradually use the results to determine the remaining cells.
