    Put the whole numbers 2 to 13 into the boxes to make the calculations correct.

    Only use each number once.

    \(\square + \square + \square = 19\)

    \(\square + \square + \square = 9\)

    \(\square + \square + \square = 36\)

    \(\square + \square + \square = 26\)

    Show answer
    \(5 + 6 + 8 = 19\); \(2 + 3 + 4 = 9\); \(11 + 12 + 13 = 36\); \(7 + 9 + 10 = 26\) (the three numbers in each calculation may be in any order)
