For the original puzzle:
row B = 109
row D = 107
row F = 110

col 2 = 104
col 4 = 115
col 6 = 107

A7 = 5
G7 = 3

That should narrow it down to one solution...

This is the information I have... But I am struggling to get my head around it. The object is to solve for the letter values in the third table.

That would only apply to the eight odd-lettered/numbered rows and columns, I suppose.

Yes that's right

Sorry - the sum of the numbers in the white squares surrounding each shaded square must equal the number in that shaded square.

The 8 squares surrounding each shaded number must equal the shaded number. Only numbers from 1 to 7. Numbers can't repeat in any given row or column (like sudoku).

In the 18 examples in the first two boxes below, a simple arithmetic operation on the 3-digit numbers leaves you with the 1-digit numbers. I need to figure out the required simple operation, and translate the ten numbers in the third box into the lettered solutions.

Clues:
A giveaway clue - there can be no 9's in the solution.

The arithmetic operation has two parameters - the given number and another number that is not the same for every case
- and you are looking at it.

HELP!

"you will need to work the values for the solution given the following equation. I suspect this will take a bit of concentration - especially if you haven't done much mathematics lately."

Well I don't really understand it but I am assuming I need to solve for x and y
