Each letter stands for a different digit (0-9). Study the clues below to figure out what digit is represented by each letter. When two letters are written together without an operation symbol, they represent a tens digit and a ones digit.

F + F + F = D
B: H = K
J + A = C
CH + H = B
F.H = C
KD. F = K
G + B + E = D + A + A
H = K
CF/J = H/B

Final answer:

To solve for the 10-digit combination, each letter must be matched to a unique digit from 0-9 using clues that form a system of linear equations based on cryptarithmetic puzzles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The digit represents a single numeral within a number, which can range between 0 and 9. When two digits are written together, such as '42,' the first digit represents the tens place and the second digit represents the ones place. To find the 10-digit combination to Luke's bicycle lock, we need to solve a set of cryptarithmetic puzzles where each letter stands for a different digit. We must apply systematic strategies to decode the numeric values of those letters. The clues given are algebraic in nature and require the solving of a system of linear equations where each letter corresponds to a unique digit.
