9 clearly cannot be on a corner, so we have
X9X
X7X
XXX
Now, the only choices along the top are 1,2, so we have
192
X7X

8 cannot be on a corner, because then we'd need 2,2 or 1,3 twice. It must be on one of the sides:
192
87X
3XX
Now, 3+9=12 and 2+10=12
We still need to place 4,5,6
3,6,3 is out, so 4+8=12 makes for
192
876
