Another Will It Square? Arithmetic Square is a classic genre that often appears in the Puzzle Grand Prix. It combines my solving weakness, arithmetic, with my new favorite puzzle object, square 🟦

Rules: Place each digit from 1 through 9 into the white boxes, so that each box contains a different digit. The indicated equations are correct when evaluating from left to right or top to bottom (ignore the usual order of operations). [For instance, 1+2×3=9; the + sign is the leftmost sign and is evaluated before the × sign.]
