The letters A through H can be assigned the following values to make all the equations true. Find the right combination of letter values.
Values: 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 14, 16, 21
C + F = G A + C = F B + G = D B + E = H D + F = H
A = 1 B = 7 C = 4 D = 16 E = 14 F = 5 G = 9 H = 21
A = 1 B = 7 C = 4 D = 16 E = 14 F = 5 G = 9 H = 21
