Hi,
x+4=1 =>x=-3
y+4=-5=>y=-9
z+4=m=>z=m-4
e+x=7=>e=7-x=10
e+y=n=>n=10-9=1
e+z=10=>10+z=10=>z=0
As z=m-4, m=4

So, m+n=4+1 = 5
Cheers!

Things are not what they appear to be... nor are they otherwise

+ x y z
4 1 -5 m
e 7 n 10
f 2 -4 5

x+4=1 -> x=-3 ; y+4 =-5 -> y=-9 ; m=z+4
x+e=7 -> e=10 ; y+e=n ->n=1 ; z+e=10 -> z=0
m+n = z+4 + n = 0+4+1 = 5
IMO 5

Couldn't grasp the question in your first post. :)
You may want to create the grid in MS paint/ppt/photoshop and upload!

IMO 5.
Thank you,
Vj
