We start on the left. Since B = 0 B=0 , nothing is carried from the D × B D\times B multiplication. Thus D × A = D D\times A = D and A = 1 A = 1 . Looking now to the right side, D 2 D^2 must end in a 1 1 . Since D 1 D\neq 1 , we know that D = 9 D=9 . So an 8 8 is carried and 9 × C + 8 9 \times C + 8 must end with a zero and have a C C carried, so 9 × C + 8 = 10 C 9\times C + 8 = 10C , which means that C = 8 C=8 .

Thus C + D = 8 + 9 = 17 C+D = 8 + 9 = \boxed{17} .

Your LaTeX "\timesC" went wrong. Please give a space between s and C.
