R + U + N = 18 + 21 + 14=53 – 3=50
B + U + S= 2 + 21 + 19 = 42 – 3 = 39
G + U + N = 7 + 21+ 14 = 42 – 3 = 39

To decipher the code language, let's analyze the given examples:
1. "RUN" is written as "50"
2. "BUS" is written as "39"
From these examples, we can observe that each letter in the word is assigned a numerical value. Let's assign numerical values to the letters in the word "RUN":
R = ?
U = ?
N = ?
To find the values for R, U, and N, we need to look for patterns in the given examples.
Pattern 1: The sum of the numerical values of the letters is the same for both examples.
- In "RUN", the sum of the numerical values is 5 + 0 = 5.
- In "BUS", the sum of the numerical values is 3 + 9 = 12.
Pattern 2: The numerical value of the first letter in each word is equal to the sum of the numerical values of the other two letters.
- In "RUN", the numerical value of R is the sum of the numerical values of U and N.
- In "BUS", the numerical value of B is the sum of the numerical values of U and S.
Using these patterns, we can determine the numerical value of R in "RUN":
R = (sum of U and N) - 5
To find the sum of U and N, we can subtract the numerical value of B (from "BUS") from the sum of the numerical values in "BUS":
sum of U and N = (numerical value of B) - (sum of 3 and 9)
sum of U and N = 12 - 12 = 0
Now we can substitute the value of the sum of U and N into the equation for R:
R = 0 - 5 = -5
However, since we are dealing with a code language, the numerical value of R may be represented differently. In this case, the numerical value of -5 could be represented as a positive number.
Therefore, "GUN" is written as "39" in the given code language.
