I’ll do an example you have the numbers 1,5,7,2,9 you can tell the median is 7 right? So go from the very left and the median (7) and do the same thing you do to find median. (Id recommend crossing the numbers off as you go if that makes sense! :)

Answer:
[[274][895][136]]
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting with the middle row, we need a product of two single-digit numbers that is between 53-1 = 52 and 53-9 = 44. Possible products are 5×9=45 and 6×8=48. This means the number in the middle position in the left column must be 8 or 5.
The middle number in the left column cannot be 5, because we must be able to get -5 by subtracting that number from a sum that is at least 3 = 1+2. So, the middle number in the left column is 8, the other two numbers in that column are 1 and 2, and the other two numbers in the middle row are 5 and 9.
There is no product of single-digit numbers that is 30-1 = 29, so the upper left number must be 2, and the bottom left number must be 1. The other two numbers on the top row must be 4 and 7, so that row's equation is 2+4×7=30.
The only remaining digits are 3 and 6. In order to have -3 on the bottom row, the equation there must be 1×3-6 = -3. Then the middle digit must be divisible by 3, so must be 9.
Our solution is ...
row 1: 2 + 7 × 4 = 30
row 2: 8 + 9 × 5 = 53
row 3: 1 × 3 - 6 = -3
And that makes the column equations be ...
col 1: 2 - 8 + 1 = -5
col 2: 7 + 9 / 3 = 10
col 3: 4 × 5 - 6 = 14
The answer is the third one
