Solution

Explanation

E must be 1 or 2.

If E = 1, then N = 3 and V = 9.

If E = 2, then N = 6 and V = 8.

For ELEVEN to be divisible by 11, ELEVEN must be 121,913 or 232,826.

232,826.is eliminated because even T = 9 can't yield 23x,xxx.

The only possible combinations of R and I are (0, 8), (4, 0) and (7, 4).

(7, 4) is the only combination which yields the answer.
