Thread: Replacing letters with numbers? - Yahoo! Answers

You can replace the letters below with numbers, so that the addition will be correct numerically. (Hint: K = 9) M O M + M O M + N O = B O O K

If I understand this right I think there are many answers to this. Plug in any random numbers for M and O and leave B and N alone for now since there is only 1 N and B Example) M= 4, O=2 4*2*4+ 4*2*4 +N*2= B*2*2*9 32 + 32 + 2*N= 36*B 64 + 2*N= 36*B Now plug in any number for B, I'll use B=2 64+2N = 36*2 64+2N= 72 Now its just a simple algebra problem where you solve for N 2N= 8 N=4 So the set of answers that I got are M= 4, O=2, B=2,...
