0/10 Bad puzzle, didn’t prevent the infinite amount of alternate solutions

t=0+8073 works (try substituting yourself, the 0 gets pasted onto other numbers) s=-12 works B=1.5* works etc.

W can be -168121+2

(no spoilers: these are all solutions that are strictly* correct but don’t give the right final answer)

I got -72958 from entirely strictly* valid substitutions.

*strictly means that stuff like (2)5 = 10 and 055 = 55 are NOT allowed.

(-1)

All of these options are prevented if you restrict yourself to one letter = one symbol

(+1)(-1)

If you can find tons of alternate solutions which make the final result basically arbitrary, you should think about if there is a hidden rule you don't follow and restricts the solution down to unique.
