Explanation:

the key are always the 2 numbers in the middle.

you add number 2 to number 1 and put the result on top.

and you subtract number 2 from number 1 and out that result at the bottom.

starting with the example 3, -10 :

3 + -10 = 3 - 10 = -7 (goes on top).

3 - - 10 = 3 + 10 = 13 (goes at the bottom)

5, -3

5 + -3 = 5 - 3 = 2 (top)

5 - -3 = 5 + 3 = 8 (bottom)

18, ...

here we have the answers and need to find the original number.

let's call the missing number x.

I think 58 was put by you there and was originally empty. because 58 is not fitting to 22 below.

so,

18 - x = 22

x = 18 - 22 = -4

the missing number in the middle is -4.

and so the top is

18 + -4 = 18 - 4 = 14

two empty spots in the middle.

let's call the 2 missing numbers there x and y.

because the top and bottom numbers are given, we know :

x + y = -4

x - y = 8

x = y + 8

and we use this in the first equation :

y + 8 + y = -4

2y + 8 = -4

2y = -12

y = -6

x = y + 8 = -6 + 8 = 2

so, the 2 middle numbers from left to right are 2 and -6
