t=4
a=8
method applied:pure guessing
I like your procedure .. heh heh!
The wizard who published the problem said:
The left side of the equation is divisible by 9, so the right side is too. It follows that the sum of the digits on the right side is dvisible by 9, so "a" is 8, which gives "t" a value of 4.
How about this?
t= 3.833749109
a= 100
230 + t = 233.8337491
3 * 233.8337491 = 701.5012473
701.5012473^2 = 492104
So "a" needs to a 1 in the hundreds position to make 492,104
Ok, now I see, rounding errors
t would be 4 and a 800 in the way I was thinking, so
492,804 = 492,804
Good thinking Knightmare
