-DaBob
Solution 1
We know that , so we could find one variable rather than two.
The sum per row is .
Thus .
Since we needed and we know
,
.
Solution 2
The magic sum is determined by the bottom row. .
Solving for :
.
To find our answer, we need to find .
.
Really Easy Solution
A nice thing to know is that any numbers that go through the middle form an arithmetic sequence.
Using this, we know that , or
because
would be the average.
We also know that because is the average the magic sum would be
, so we can also write the equation
using the bottom row.
Solving for x in this system we get , so now using the arithmetic sequence knowledge we find that
and
.
Adding these we get .

Systems of Equations
Create an equation for every row, column, and diagonal. Let be the sum of the rows, columns, and diagonals.
.
Notice that and
both have
. Equate them and you get that
.
Using that same strategy, we use
instead.
is good for our purposes. It turns out that
. Since we already know those numbers, and
, We can say that
will be
. We are now able to solve:
,
,
, and
. Respectively,
,
,
,
, and
. We only require The sum of
, which is
.
We get that the sum of
and
respectively is
