Math Problem Statement

Do the same problem but fill it in

Solution

Let's work through filling in the math square puzzle step by step.

Initial Information:

  • Each number from 1 to 9 is used once.
  • You have the following equations to satisfy:

Row equations:

  1. X1X2+X3=0X_1 - X_2 + X_3 = 0
  2. X4+X5X6=10X_4 + X_5 - X_6 = 10
  3. X7X8+X9=6X_7 - X_8 + X_9 = 6

Column equations:

  1. X1+X4+X7=23X_1 + X_4 + X_7 = 23
  2. X2+X5+X8=17X_2 + X_5 + X_8 = 17
  3. X3+X6+X9=6X_3 + X_6 + X_9 = 6

Approach:

I'll solve for each row and column while ensuring the numbers 1 through 9 are used only once.

Step 1: Consider the middle row and column

From the second row, we know: X4+X5X6=10X_4 + X_5 - X_6 = 10 Try some possibilities for X4,X5,X6X_4, X_5, X_6.

Let's begin by trying values:

  • X4=8X_4 = 8
  • X5=5X_5 = 5
  • (
