Here is the problem I'm unsure how to start solving it.

I have a box 5 squares across and 5 down for a total of 25 squares I have to fill in a number 1-9( which I can only use a number once ) so a sample problem would look like 3+2+5=10.

I'm given the answers but not the numbers of the problem. I don't know where to start or how to go about figuring this out it reminds me of sodoku or crossword puzzle only I'm just given the answers. I hope my discription works for anyone who can help me. I'm really overwhelmed with it. Thank you in advance.

I do not understand your description.

You mention a crossword puzzle and a Soduku puzzle, but those puzzles are answered by filling in the empty boxes. You state that you've been given the answer, so you must have a 5 x 5 grid that is completetly filled in.

What is the question? What are you supposed to do, exactly?

Also, you give an example of 3 + 2 + 5 = 10.

In this example, they gave you 10, and you had to come up with 3, 2, and 5?

How would these three numbers fill in a row or column in the 5 x 5 box?

I just do not understand what you need to do.

Sorry. :(
