7.1.4 , my friend (Posted on 2021-03-31) Difficulty: 3 of 5
3971x204987 4xx6687 , who passed away recently
was for years admired by me and as a homage to his lifetime achievements
I've decided to create a special puzzle.

Please solve the THRICE+MORPH=CAREER
(each of the digits i.e. 0,1,2, ...9 each was replaced by a certain letter
of the ABC to make the bolded equation true. Unassigned letters are denoted by the letter x.)

Specify both the person's name and how the 3 words of the bolded equation relate to the subject.

I would prefer the above tasks done sans software.

From the title of the puzzle I started with the assumption that R = 7, I = 1 and P = 4.  From there it was pretty straightforward to fill in the rest of the values to create a valid equation:

2 9 7 1 3 8
+ 6 0 7 4 9
-----------
3 5 7 8 8 7

This produces the name Christopher Plummer, an actor who recently passed away.  According to Wikipedia, he's one of only a few people to complete the Triple Crown of Acting, winning an Academy Award (for film), an Emmy Award (for television) and a Tony Award (for theater), which is how he relates to the bolded equation.
