    Solve the following equations:

    T-W-O=2
    (T/W)/O=2

    where T, W, and O are single-digit integers and they are distinct integers.

    First of all looking at the second condition it is clear that O can be either 1,2 or 4.
    Thus when O is 1 we can have

    T=6, W=3 (through condition 2 only) -------------(1 )
    T=4,W=2 ------------------------------(2)
    T=8,W=4 ----------------------------(3 )

    Now looking at 1,2,3 we can see (1) satisfies the first condition T-W-O=2 .
    Thus we are not suppose to check for O=2 and 4

    And thus our answer is T=6,W=3,O=1
