    There is no solution for the given problem as presented in the base 10 notation.

    However, if the units digit of the first variable is "r" instead of "p", that is if the equation, is:

    pqqr + rqq = 2009,

    then assuming that each of p, q and r represents different decimal digits, we observe that:

    1554+ 455 = 2009 is the only possible representation, giving the unique solution:

    (p,q,r) = (1,5,4).
