Hi bbush,
The ? is a 9 in both cases.
-----
Why?
Because, per row, take one element, and the next but one to the right, and add them together.
Move two rows down, and put this in the slot between them.
Examples:
Row 1, Element 1: 2
Row 1, Element 3: 7
So, Row 3, Element 2 = 2 + 7 = 9.
For the leftmost ?:
Row 1, Element 3: 7
Row 1, Element 5: 2
So, Row 3, Element 4: 7 + 2 = 9.
For the rightmost ?:
Row 2, Element 4: 5
Row 2, Element 6: 4
So, Row 4, Element 5: 5 + 4 = 9.
-----
You could even add a fifth and sixth row, by the same rules:
2 . . . . . 4----------7 . . . .. .1------------2. . . . . 3
3. . . . . .1----------2. . . . . .5------------4. . . . . 4
. . . . . . .9 . . . . .5-----------9. . . . . . 4
. . . . . . .5 . . . . .6-----------6. . . . . . 9
