Hi Everyone, my daughter (6th grade) is trying to solve this problem, and for the life of me, I can't figure it out... It's very frustrating since I consider myself to be pretty good at stuff like this usually. If you can figure it out, let me know.

Based on the numbers provided in the three by three grid, determine the missing value for W.

1 4 9
7 2 3
w 7 2
