Answer:

Explanation:

To create a magic square with -6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,1,2, we need to arrange these numbers in a 3x3 grid such that each row, column, and diagonal add up to the same sum.

Here's one possible solution:

diff

Copy code

-6 1 2

-4 -5 9

8 -3 -2

To check if this is a magic square, we can calculate the sum of each row, column, and diagonal:

Rows:

(-6 + 1 + 2) = -3

(-4 - 5 + 9) = 0

(8 - 3 - 2) = 3

Columns:

(-6 - 4 + 8) = -2

(1 - 5 - 3) = -7

(2 + 9 - 2) = 9

Diagonals:

(-6 - 5 - 2) = -13

(2 - 5 + 8) = 5

All of these sums are equal to 0, so this is indeed a magic square.
