How to solve the Symbol Door Puzzle in Hogwarts Legacy

　　Numerical equivalents - While exploring the Divination Tower, you'll come across one of these puzzles. There's a chest nearby that contains a note showing animal symbols and their equivalent number.Animals - Several outlines of animals and odd creatures are etched on the door's arch. These correspond to the aforementioned numbers--zero to nine--arranged clockwise from bottom-left to bottom-right.Diagram equation - If you interact with the door, you'll reveal the diagram itself, which is actually an equation. Basically, the symbols/numbers on the outside must add up to the number in the center.Symbol rolls - Just beside or near the door, you'll see question marks with the "Roll" action. These correspond to the question marks seen in the diagram (i.e., "?" is part of the top equation and "??" is part of the bottom equation).The document from the Divination Tower shows the numbers assigned to each animal symbol. Discovering this is not a requirement for any of the puzzles. As such, you're free to solve anything you encounter while exploring.
