In this task, we're given an equation where the symbols '@' and '#' have replaced the regular arithmetic operators '+' and '-'. Our goal is to solve the equation and provide the answer.

Here's the equation we need to solve: 
8042 @ 4055 @ 4501 @ 1367 @ 2999 @ 927 # 7239 # 2377

First, let's replace the '@' and '#' symbols with their corresponding arithmetic operators:

8042 + 4055 + 4501 + 1367 + 2999 + 927 - 7239 - 2377

Now, we can perform the arithmetic operations in the equation:

8042 + 4055 = 12097
12097 + 4501 = 16598
16598 + 1367 = 17965
17965 + 2999 = 20964
20964 + 927 = 21891
21891 - 7239 = 14652
14652 - 2377 = 12275

So, the answer to the equation is 12275.
