2 + t2 = e4xp

5a + 7st = e12

12.c3 + 3o21 = 44m4

12/n3/4 + 43721 = 5555

s12n3j405 + 6o7s8n9 = 19134

2013 + 1234567 = ?


The answer is 1238594.

It is definitely NOT as simple as it seems. Note that random characters (including the full stop on third equation) are everywhere. Let's remove them. Now everything looks cleaner and is correct EXCEPT the fourth equation, which has an extra 7 and the fifth, which has an extra 0. Taking them off as well and then recreate the text (and the numbers removed) in the order gives

A link? Let's go there only to find out the note there. From there we see that we need to add 2014 to our answer so the correct answer is 2013 + 1234567 + 2014 = 1238594 2013 + 1234567 + 2014 = \boxed{1238594} .

Interesting problem!
