#15 - Hardest Maths Equation Puzzle
Can you replace alphabets by the numbers to make all the below equations true?
ZY = XZ - WV
UT = YV - ST
WY = ZU - RZ
QX = PX - QV
QL = LQ - WP
SV = XT - YR
Note: You can using only 8 digits. (i.e. more than one alphabets will be mapped to same numerical value)
Z = Y = P =6
X =7
W = S = 1,
V=0 ,
U = R = T = 4,
Q=3,
L=5
Now we can rewrite the equations as :
66 = 76 - 10
44 = 60 - 14
16 = 64 - 46
37 = 67 - 30
35 = 53 - 16
10 = 74 - 64

Can you replace each alphabet with the number (1 - 9) to make below equation correct ?
AB * C = DE - F = GH / I
39 * 1 = 45 - 6 = 78 / 2
AB - C = DE / F = GH * I can be solved as
A = 3
B = 9
C = 1
D = 4
E = 5
F = 6
G = 7
H = 8
I = 2
So below equation can be solved as:
AB - C = DE / F = GH * I
39 * 1 = 45 - 6 = 78/2
39 = 39 = 39.
