SOLUTION: By the notation n (d) , we mean an n-digit number consisting of n times of the digit d. Thus 3(5) =555 and 4(3)9(5)8(1)3(6) =444999998333333. If 2(w)3(x)5(y)+3(y)5(w)2(x)=5(3)7(2)

Question 1133317: By the notation n (d) , we mean an n-digit number consisting of n times of the
digit d. Thus 3(5) =555 and 4(3)9(5)8(1)3(6) =444999998333333. If 2(w)3(x)5(y)+3(y)5(w)2(x)=5(3)7(2)8(z)5(z)7(3) for some integers w, x, y and z, what is the value of w + x + y + z?

This might be an interesting problem... but you have messed up the definition of n(d).

You at first say that 3(5) means 555; but next you say 4(3) means 444.

If I try to make sense out of the problem, the equation you show seems to have the sum of two 10-digit numbers being equal to a 32-digit number....
