Good day, cheerfully going about in the glorious sunshine, at last. But I have a mathematical problem, hav'nt had to play these games for 40 odd years. 7Te°Mg.CV
74(C-N+H)°Xe.BeNe This it. where; Te =52 Mg =12 C = 6 V = 23
C =6 N =7 H = 1 Xe = 54 Be =4 Ne = 10.
Now the problem is this should end up as geographical coordinates.
Antbody help me please.
Thanks in anticipation

Assuming the first 7 is the question number or a typo, substitute the values for the first co-ordinate which gives you 52°12.623N.

For the second one, do a bit of math and a bit of substitution 74(6-7+1) = 74(0) = 0° then substitution gives you 54.410.

The location seems to be in what looks like a park off Penvale Road.

Assuming the first 7 is actually the question number and can be ignored, it seems to be a field in Suffolk, about halfway between Bury St. Edmunds & Stowmarket.
