Math Question For Neopets?

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.








Anyone know the answer? Math is my worst subject and I need help!! :P

Math Question For Neopets?
There are precisely three answers:


ABCDEFGHJ


267835149


267953148


678413259





(slightly offtopic, how can you spend 30 minutes on a question that was asked 8 minutes before you answered ;) Just kidding.)





Try each one and check that it works :) Unless you didn't mean F(G*H) as F*(G*H), and meant the digit F followed by the answer G*H.. in which case I'll try solving it again. If you did mean it like that, there is indeed a unique answer:





589736142





Ahha, third question change. Now it becomes 256973148.
Reply:I know, right? I spent about 30 minutes trying to solve it! I got nothing. I would be glad to help, but, unfortunately can't. Sorry!
Reply:This is the third time that this question has been asked!?!?!





It's a tough one, too.





I'm taking it to work with me and asking my colleges to help me out on it.





But someone "did" crack this CHALLENGE Question.





So here's the answer. . .
