# Thread: Help with solving simultanious equations for a puzzle

1. ## Help with solving simultanious equations for a puzzle

Hopefully I've posted this in the correct forum, I'm sure someone will let me know if it's wrong.
I'm trying to solve a puzzle that needs answers for the following variables a-z all are integers with a value <27.
I've been unable to find an on-line solver that will take this many equations and I have no experience with simultaneous equations, so your help is appreciated.
Here's the equations
a+2b+n+2o=62
2b+i+l+y=49
a+c+2e+2h+t=85
c+e+i+t+v=66
e+m+u=27
e+2f+i++n+o+x=69
a+f+g+i+m+n+o=75
2a+g+i+n+u=70
2a+g+j+r+u=81
2a+g+k+n+2o+r=106
2a+k+l+o=58
a+c+2e+m+r+t=75
o+r+x+y=52
e+o+r+2t=60
2l+o+q+u=49
2a+2d+e+n+p+r=104
a+e+i+l+n+o+s=83
2a+b+2l+w+y=74
2a+2d+2e+i+l=99
2o+z=50

Do 2 of the equations have the same letters? 2 of them have to have the same exact letters. Do two of the equations have one letter between them that are different?

At least I think they do

Code:
     a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
(1)  1 2                       1 2                       = 62
(2)    2             1     1                         1   = 49
(3)  1   1   2     2                       1             = 85
(4)      1   1       1                     1   1         = 66
...
Carry on...
