Question 581368: How many four-digit integers between 5000 and 6000 are there for which the
thousands digit equals the sum of the other three digits?

Since the first digit is 5, the other three digits must sum to 5

If the second digit is 0 the other two digits must sum to 5, so they
are 0+5, 1+4, or 2+3 or their reverses 5+0, 4+1, amd 3+2, that 6

If the second digit is 1, the last two digits must sum to 4, so they
are 0+4, 1+3, or 2+2.  The first two have reverses, so that's 5 more

If the second digit is 2, the last two digits must sum to 3, so they
are 0+3 and 1+2, and their reverses, so that's 4 more.

If the second digit is 3, the last two digits must sum to 2, so they
are 0+2 and 1+1 and the reverse of the first, so that's 3 more.

If the second digit is 4, the last two digits must sum to 1, so they
are 0+1 and its reverse, so that's 2 more

If the second digit is 5, the last two digits must sum to 0, so they
are 0+0, so that's 1 more.

Total = 6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21.
