The equation you're referring to, ADD + MAD = SUM, is a type of cryptarithm, where each letter represents a different digit. These puzzles can be solved by finding digits for A, D, M, S, and U that satisfy the equation while adhering to the rules of distinct digits.
To solve it, you can set it up as follows:
- A, D, M, S, U are digits between 0 and 9.
- Each letter must represent a different digit.
- The leading letter of a number cannot be 0 (A and M cannot be 0).
You can run through possible combinations of values for each letter until you find a set that satisfies the equation. Would you like to work through a solution together?
