1. The problem is to fill the numbers 1 to 9 in two 4x4 grids where each row and column forms a valid math equation using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
2. Important rules:
- Use each number 1 to 9 exactly once per grid.
- Follow order of operations: multiplication and division before addition and subtraction.
- Each row and column must satisfy the given equation.
3. For Graph 1 (bottom-left):
- The first row equation is $a - b + c = 15$.
- The last row equation is $d - e + f = 9$.
- Using the numbers 1 to 9, and considering the sums 15 and 9, start by testing combinations.
4. For Graph 2 (bottom-right):
- The first row equation is $g - h + i = 10$.
- The last row equation is $j + k - l = 11$.
- Similarly, test combinations of numbers 1 to 9 to satisfy these equations.
5. After testing and applying the rules, the solutions for the empty spaces in the grids are:
Graph 1:
- Row 1: 8 - 2 + 9 = 15
- Row 5: 7 - 3 + 5 = 9
Graph 2:
- Row 1: 6 - 1 + 5 = 10
- Row 5: 9 + 4 - 2 = 11
These satisfy the equations and use numbers 1 to 9 without repetition.
Final answers:
- Graph 1 empty spaces: 8, 2, 9, 7, 3, 5
- Graph 2 empty spaces: 6, 1, 5, 9, 4, 2
