Problem:
Decipher the equality where different symbols correspond to different digits and equal symbols correspond to equal digits. It is also supposed that all these digits are different from .
Problem:
Decipher the equality where different symbols correspond to different digits and equal symbols correspond to equal digits. It is also supposed that all these digits are different from .
Solution:
Denote , and . It is obvious that , , that is and , whence it follows that , or Since is an integer, it follows that , hence . So both values and are . From this and the fact that it follows that at least one of the symbols in the expression and at least one of the symbols in the expression correspond to the digit . This is impossible because of the assumption that all the symbols in the set correspond to different digits.
