Suppose that ABC4+20010=ABC9, where A, B, and C are valid digits in base 4 and 9. What is the sum when you add all possible values of A, all possible values of B, and all possible values of C?

Suppose that

ABC4+20010=ABC9
ABC_4+200_{10}=ABC_9,
where A, B, and C are valid digits in base 4 and 9.
What is the sum when you add all possible values of A, all possible values of B, and all possible values of C?

 

1.

A, B, and C are valid digits in base 4 and 9

A={0,1,2,3}B={0,1,2,3}C={0,1,2,3}

 

2.

ABC4+20010=ABC9ABC4=A42+B4+C+200=ABC9=A92+B9+C16A+4B+200=81A+9B65A+5B=200|:513A+B=40

 

3.

Possible values of A and B

AB13A+B=40 ?000112233101311421531620261272283293039140241342A=3, B=1, C=0,1,2,3

 

sum=3+1+0+1+2+3=10

 

The sum when you add all possible values of A, all possible values of B, and all possible values of C is 10

 

check:

3104+20010=3109=252103114+20010=3119=253103124+20010=3129=254103134+20010=3139=25510
