Solution
Column total = Row total = diagonal total
∴ 1 + y + (−6) = (−10) + (−3) + 4
y + (−5) = −13 + 4
y = −9 + 5
y = −4
So 1 + (−10) + x = y + (−3) + (−2)
−9 + x = (−4) + (−3) + (−2)
−9 + x = −9
x = −9 + 9
x = 0
Now x + (−2) + z = (−10) + (−3) + 4
0 + (−2) + z = (−13) + 4
−2 + z = −9
z = −9 + 2 = −7
z = −7
∴ x = 0, y = −4, z = −7
