Solve: (8-a)(8-b)(8-c)(8-d)(8-e)=245.Then the value of {a+b+c+d+e} will be equal to?
a,b,c,d,e are distinct positive integers.

Answer 1

Are a, b, c, d, e positive integers?

Answer 2

yes!

Answer 3

Must be, otherwise there will be more than two answers

Answer 4

245=5*7^2. WLOG, a=3, b=c=1, d=e=7.
a+b+c+d+e=3+2+14=19

Answer 5

Factorize 245, you'll get 5.7.7. Assign first three (8-x)'s to these and the rest to 1. So 8-5,8-7,8-7,8-1,8-1 are your numbers.
