And by the way, you have been told one problem per thread. This is post 37 in a thread that has many problems. DO NOT ADD ANOTHER PROBLEM TO THIS THREAD.
I'll try to make sure of that.

Assume y = 1

∴x+U+O=R+10⟹1+O+Y=A+10z⟹O+10=A+10⟹O=A, which is impossible.∴x+U+O=R+10⟹1+O+Y=A+10z⟹O+10=A+10⟹O=A, which is impossible.\displaystyle \therefore x + U + O = R + 10 \implies 1 + O + Y = A + 10z \implies O + 10 = A + 10 \implies O = A, \text { which is impossible.}

Therefore y = 0, and thus x + U + O = R.
okay please see my reasoning once

If in 4th column,
U+O+1with carry = R+10 (double digit number)
OR
U+O= R+10 (double digit number)

THEN,
there will be a Carry of 1 in 3rd column

SO,
O+9+1= A+10
[We know Y=9]
O=A

THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE.
SO There will not be any carry in 3rd Column so result of 4th column will be a Single digit no.

SO,
O+Y=A+10 THIS EQUATION CAN BE FORMED of 3rd column.Its a fact now .

And from 4th column there are two possibilities
U+O+1 with carry = R

or

U+O = R

You did the same thing .

Now how to proceed futher .
HIT and trial?

What happened to this problem??
This is the problem only.
Why so confused

Now another problem
This I am trying for the last 4 hrs
YOUR+ YOU = HEART
kay with O = 3 , U=4, R=8
Heart = 10282 coming
If HEART = 10282 then A = 2 = T
Is that correct?!
Confusion is that you are NOT answering my question!!!

Only one no can represnt one letter.
The statement above is incomprehensible to me

One letter can be represented Only by one single digit

Yes, you have but two possible cases. So try one.

$$\displaystyle \text {ASSUME } x = 0.$$

$$\displaystyle \therefore U + R = T + 10*0 = T\\ 0 + O + U = O + U = R\\ 0 + Y + O = Y + O = A + 10.$$
$$\displaystyle \text {But } Y = 9 \implies 9 + O = A + 10 \implies O = A + 1.$$

All the remaining letters, A, R, T, O, U fall between 2 and 8 because H = 1, E = 0, and Y = 9.

$$\displaystyle 2 \le A \implies 3 \le O.$$

$$\displaystyle U + R = T \le 8 \implies 2 \le U \le 6 \text { and } 2 \le R \le 6.$$

$$\displaystyle \therefore O + U = R \le 6 \implies 3 \le O = R - U \implies 3 + U \le R \le 6 \implies U \le 3 \implies U = 2 \text { or } 3.$$

$$\displaystyle U = 3 \implies O = R - 3 \le 6 - 3 \implies 3 \le O \le 3 \implies O = 3 = U, \text { which is impossible.}$$

$$\displaystyle \therefore U = 2 \implies A = 3, \ O = 4, \ R = 6, \text { and } T = 8.$$

Do you see why?

YOU = 942. YOUR = 9426. HEART = 10368.

942 + 9426 = 10368.

As Dr. Peterson keeps saying, these take perseverance in addition to logic.

∴O+U=R≤6⟹3≤O=R−U⟹3+U≤R≤6⟹U≤3⟹U=2 or 3.
3+U≤R≤6

What does this step means
This step I don't understand.
How did 3+U came.
You shifted U from rhs to LHS.

Did you understand

$$\displaystyle 2 \le A \text { and } O = A + 1 \implies 3 \le O$$?

$$\displaystyle x = 0, \ T \le 8, \text { and } U + R = T + 10x \implies U + R = T \le 8$$?

$$\displaystyle U \ge 2 \implies - U \le - 2 \implies -U + U + R \le -2 + 8 \implies R \le 6.$$

Still with me?

$$\displaystyle 3 \le O, \ O + U = R, \text { and } R \le 6 \implies$$

$$\displaystyle 3 + U \le O + U = R \le 6 \implies 3 + U \le 6 \implies 3 + U - 3 \le 6 - 3 \implies U \le 3.$$

−U+U+R≤−2+8
It seems that you have considered U+R=8 in this step.
But why?

We know that U+R 8
So you have assumed that U+R= 8

3+U O+U=R≤6
3≤O this was the inequality . Then you have added U on both sides but why?
What was your thought process from the beginning?
3+U O+U

Then , you have assumed that R= 6 but why? What were you trying to achieve ?

Then, you substituted R=6 in O+U => 3+U ≤ 6

Then, you subtracted 3 ( but why?) to get U≤ 3.

I would not know how to answer that question!

You have infinite patience!!

$$\displaystyle x = 0, \ T \le 8, \text { and } U + R = T + 10x \implies U + R = T \le 8$$?

$$\displaystyle U \ge 2 \implies - U \le - 2 \implies -U + U + R \le -2 + 8 \implies R \le 6.$$

$$\displaystyle 3 + U \le O + U = R \le 6 \implies 3 + U \le 6 \implies 3 + U - 3 \le 6 - 3 \implies U \le 3.$$
Okay I gave it a thought and came to another approach combining mostly from ur assumption and thinking.

Assuming no carry in 4th column so Summation of U+ R will be a single digit and obviously T will be less than equal to 8 and greater than equal to 2 .

NOW,
U + R=T implies that U+O= R

Some constrains on U and R is both are grater than equal to 2 and lesser than equal to 6 as We cannot get Sum i.e t=8
by (7,1) Combination(1 is already taken).

NOW, i have the set {2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
Now i have to find a possible combination of U and O keeping in mind that it adds up to R which is less than 7 and the value of O is one greater than A . SO from the set i can see that U=2 and O=4 fits nice and A=3 .

Then i check U +R=T . 2+6=8 . No conditions broke . DONE

BUT this correct assumption out of many possibilities :

1: NO carry in 4th column or assuming Summation of U+ R to be SINGLE DIGIT is the most vital thing which set the path to the Approach.
