Each letter corresponds to a digit between 0-9 where each digit can only be used once.

Determine which digits the letters correspond to to satisfy the equation

\\\begin{matrix}  & MARS \\   & BARS\\  + &\, \, \, ARE \\  \end{matrix}\\ \overline{\: =\: \:  \, BEST}

M = 0
A = 3
R = 2
S = 8
E = 9
T = 5
And B can be any digit you want that isn't listed above

Hi!

The equation could also be written as

\\MARS+BARS+ARE=BEST

if that is of any help. MARS, BARS and BEST are four digit numbers like 1000 or 2345 whereas ARE is a three digit number.

If we substitute the letters for the numbers that Slinger17 a listed nd say that B = 1 (B can be either 1, 4, 5 or 7) we will get

0328+1328+329=1985

If we add the numbers on the left side we will get

LS=328+1328+329=1985=RS

M=0  B=2  A=3  E=9  R=1  S=4  T=7

0314 + 2314 + 319 = 2947
