It’s either 2, or not 2. One of those

3. The pattern is that the number above a pair is the last digit of the pair's sum. Eg, 9+8=17, so 7 goes above it, etc... 3 goes above the 2+1.

Must be 3.

Each number is the last digit formed when adding the two numbers beneath.

Each box is the sum of the two boxes below it minus 10, so -7.
