Whatever happened to simple factoring of polynomials? I must be in over my head. Can I get homework help here?

This is cool. I am going to make my math teacher do this, it took me 2 hours to figure it out, since 6 AM when I decided to finally*Wink, wink* check the site out... I had to plug every # in every hole. I found out 9 wasn't used at all, LOL

Maybe I missed something, but couldn't you just set every Letter to zero and say "DONE!!!"
(nothing in the instructions said that a number couldn't be the solution to more than one letter) (Duh)

Here's how I attempted it:

C=0 is quite obvious from the ***B - ***C = ***B.

From the same summation, it is seen that as C=0, F must be 5 as C carries from B and becomes 10 and then subtract that from 5 gets 5. so F=5.

As 1 was carried from B, so (B-1) - E = A and also A + F = B. So we know from this that F= 1 + E. Hence E = 4.

I don't mean to necropost, but I only understood this up until (B-1) - E = A. How did you get A + F = B and F = 1 + E?

You can deduce that A + F = B from the center column: DEFC + AB = DEBB. Since the hundred's place does not increase when you add A with F, A + F < 10, so A + F must equal B => (A + 5 = B). Using this result and substituting this value for B into: (B - 1) - E = A => ((A + 5) - 1) - E = A, eliminate the A's and you get E = 4.
