You are confronted with the following formula:
A * [(B + C)(D - E) - F(G*H) ] / J = 10
Knowing that each variable is a unique, single-digit, nonzero number, and that C - B = 1, and H - G = 3, what is the number ABCDEFGHJ, where each letter is a digit? For example, if A = 4, B = 2, and C = 7, ABC would equal 427.

Well, you got me stumped!
-------------------------------------
I started working it out and got pretty far.
The above given information might be incorrect. Maybe? I don't know.
I tried it several times. I even double and triple checked my work!
---------------------------------------------
This is as far as I got and then I got stumped:
(D-E) (B+C) = (10J + AFGH) / A
------------------------------------------------------
Great question!
I look forward to the continuing discussion.
I love the way you worded your question. Right on!!!
Keep those challenge questions coming! ;o}

there is not any point out related to no be counted if the numbers are valuable or unfavorable. If unfavorable numbers are allowed, there are various solutions, e.g.: fifty two-1712-215 fifty two-1911-215 If unfavorable numbers are no longer allowed, the C-B=a million equality will produce unfavorable numbers for C if B is extra desirable than 0, and nil isn't allowed.

The equation is undoubtebly wrong. If c = 7 and b = 2, how can c-b be equal to 1?

For one thing, you're a cheater. You're supposed to figure it out yourself. Although, I'm a cheater too.
For another thing, nobody is going to be able to give you the correct answer when you don't make it clear that (b+c) is to the power of (d-e) with a little carat (^) sign and, likewise, that f is the the power of (g*h).

It's a toughy.
I managed to figure out that B isn't 1, and that A isn't 1,3,7,or 9. lol it ain't much but maybe it'll be useful to someone.

Confronted? I'd run and hide.....
The best form of attack is defence, after all ; )
