Mystery Matrix poster

Have a look at this table square or matrix:

Can you see how it has been constructed?
Why are some numbers in black and some in red?
Can you explain why the red 6 is in that particular square?
Why is there a 45 in the bottom right-hand corner?

You will notice that the numbers 2 to 9 are used to generate the matrix and only one of these numbers is used twice (the 2).

Can you fill in the matrix (table square) below?

The numbers 2 to 12 were used to generate it with, again, just one number used twice.
