Answer 1

Answer:

• 574 + 9664 = 10238

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

• FUN + MOON = SCARE
• N= 4, F = 5, U = 7

Solution

Substituting given numbers:

Step 1

• 574 + MOO4 = SCAR8, E = 8 as 4+4
• M + 1 = S ⇒ M = 9, S = 1, C = 0 as single digit becomes 2-digit
• O > 4 as O + 5 should be 2 -digit number

Step 2

• 574 + 9OO4 = 10AR8

Digits used so far: 0, 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Digits left: 2, 3, 6

Step 3

• 5 + O = A, O = 6 as it should be > 4, then we get A = 2 and R = 3
• 574 + 9664 = 10238
