My 7th grade daughter has the following math problem and gets zero help from her "language arts" teacher who gave out this problem:

Question

WANT
X BE
________
CAREER

Each letter in this question stands for a 1-digit #. No 2 letters may stand for the same #. Find the value for each letter.

Anybody got a clue???

Answer 1

Forgot to add that the #'s you have to usefor this question are: 5, 4, 7, 2, 1, 3, 9, 0

This may help. It would also help if they gave at least one starting letter value.
