Mathematical puzzles usually look like examples of arithmetic operations, in which numbers are completely or partially replaced by other symbols: letters, asterisks, etc. The task is to decipher the expression.

Step 1
Before you start solving difficult problems, practice with a simple example: WAGON + WAGON = COMPOSITION. Write it down in a column, so it will be more convenient to solve. You have two unknown five-digit numbers, the sum of which is a six-digit number, so B + B is more than 10 and C is 1. Replace the characters C with 1
Step 2
The sum A + A is a single or two-digit number with one at the end, this is possible if the sum of G + G is greater than 10 and A is either 0 or 5. Try to assume that A is 0, then O is 5, which does not satisfy the conditions of the problem, since in this case B + B = 2B cannot be equal to 15. Therefore, A = 5. Replace all A characters with 5
Step 3
The sum O + O = 2O is an even number, it can be equal to 5 or 15 only if the sum of H + H is a two-digit number, i.e. N is more than 6. If O + O = 5, then O = 2. This decision is wrong because B + B = 2B + 1, i.e. There must be an odd number. Hence, O is equal to 7. Replace all O's with 7
Step 4
It is easy to see that B is equal to 8, then H = 9. Replace all letters with the found numeric values
Step 5
Replace the remaining letters in the example with numbers: G = 6 and T = 3. You got the correct equality: 85679 + 85679 = 171358. The rebus is guessed.
Step 6
Sometimes similar problems are encountered in the literature. The first part of the rebus is the letter "E" with "K" inscribed inside. It reads like this: "In" e "-" k ", that is, the syllable "century" is obtained. The second part of the rebus depicts a mountain. Write the word "mountain". "G = T" means that in this word it is necessary to replace the letter "g" with "t". You will receive "Torah". The comma at the end requires you to cross out the last letter, i.e. from the "torus" remains "torus". This is the second syllable of the word you are looking for. Combine both syllables, you get the word "vector". This is the solution to the rebus.
