    The internet is a great tool. Many people like me suffer in the real world when there are so many people with the "O he is so good looking he has no troubles, why help him out with anything" attitude.

    2 x a = 14 a=7
    50 x a = 320 a=32/5 a= 6+2/5

    6.4 = a = 7
    ???
    This is driving me nuts! How does 7*a = 46??
    Don't pay attention to this signature, it's contradictory.

    since a=A 7*a has to be 46
    That was a bit easy

    BTW: Buy stating "1e" instead of "1E" you do point in a wrong way!

    The little "a" is the variable we are looking for, everything else is hexadecimal

    What made it obvious for me was having letters in 2 of the rhs answers, which made it clear that this was in hex; thus the 'a' wasn't a variable name, but hex'A'. If you had chosen right hand sides with only 0-9 in them, then it would probably have puzzled me for a while that the variable 'a' was taking on different values.
