Enter the number of rows needed and the number of seats that will be left over. 826 seats and 42 seat per row

rows

extra seats

Assuming the covered digits are _

The sum is 826.

243 + 1_7 + _26 = 826

The objective is to determine the sum of the two unknown digits

So; we need to think about what number can we add put in 1_7 to determine the covered digit in  _26

From ; 1_7 , we have the choice to pick from 0 - 9

Assuming the covered digit is 0; let's check if we are right

So; 243 + 107  +  _26 = 826

350 +   _26 = 826

_26 = 826 - 350

_26 = 476

So; the covered digit is in the position of 4 , but it doesn't tally together

i.e 426 is not the same as 476, which makes our assumption to be wrong.

Let consider the covered digit to be 5 for example.

So; 243 + 157  +  _26 = 826

400 +   _26 = 826

_26 = 826 - 400

_26 =  426

The covered digit is in the position of 4

SO;

426 = 426

Here , our assumption is right.

As such , the covered digits are 5 and 4

The sum of the two  covered digits are = 5 + 4 = 9
