Plug in the numerals; x + y
45 + 24 = 69
Divide the sum by 3;
69 ÷ 3 = 24

Answer:
541 (484) 783, 437 (410) 642
Step-by-step explanation:
Required
Fill in the bracket
First, we generate a formula for the first sequence: 541 (484) 783
![484 = 2 * [783 - 541]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=484%20%3D%202%20%2A%20%5B783%20-%20541%5D)
![484 = 2 * [242]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=484%20%3D%202%20%2A%20%5B242%5D)


Using the same formula for the second sequence: 437 (?) 642
![x = 2 * [642 - 437]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%202%20%2A%20%5B642%20-%20437%5D)
Where x represents the empty bracket
![x = 2 * [205]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%202%20%2A%20%5B205%5D)
