Should be 'two copies of each number' instead of 'two copies of each
numbers'.

What if you wanted to instead write an equation system, such as `x + y = 3`, `y + z = 5`, and `x + z = 4`? A bit of algebra tells you that the answers come out to `x = 1`, `y = 2`, and `z = 3`. But, how do you script it?
Most obviously, after the redeemer inputs the three numbers, you're going to need two copies of each numbers, since each number goes into two different equations. `OP_3DUP` takes care of that and results in `x y z x y z` being on the stack. Popping off two items at a time will give you `y z`, `z x`, and `x y`. Voila! That's the three equations, so you just need to add them up and test them in the right order! Here's the full script: `OP_3DUP OP_ADD 5 OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_ADD 4 OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_ADD 3 OP_EQUAL`.

Here's how it runs with the correct unlocking script of `1 2 3`:
