My little math cryptogram

 

A B C

+D E F

+F G H

_____

 

I E D

 

Rule: Each letter signifies a number 1-9

 

Hint:

 

A = 5

B > G

C > H

 

Can you solve it?

Add rule

Well, one solution is [hide]b = 8, c = 5, d = 1, e = 5, f = 2, g = 1, h = 4, i = 9[/hide]but there are around 450 more solutions.

I had a feeling the solution wasn't unique. That's not entirely fair, now is it? I worked for about a half on it last night and I couldn't do it algebraically because the system had multiple solutions and I wasn't about to do guess and check.

In your solution 5 is represented by A or C or E

But is there a solution where each number 1-9 is represented by only one letter ?

Yes
