If a equals 1 b equals 2 z equals 26 what is p plus q plus r?

Answer 1

Starting with the information that is given:

Two options, due to the lack of punctuation:

a=1b=2z=26

-or-

a=1

b=2

z=36

p=(not defined)

q=(not defined)

r=(not defined)

Therefore, all we can assert from the given information is that p+q+r = p+q+r (the variables can be rearranged without altering the (unknown) value, because of the commutative property of addition.

a, b and z are not used in the equation, so their values are irrelevant.

p, q and r are not defined, so we cannot assume any value for any of the variables in the equation. Well, we could assume, but it would be just that - an assumption, and an unfounded assumption at that. There was not enough information provided to draw any more concrete conclusion.
