Explanation:

Step1: Solve equation ①

Subtract 12 from both sides of $n + 12=4$, so $n=4 - 12=-8$.

Step2: Solve equation ②

Divide both sides of $4x = 36$ by 4, so $x=\frac{36}{4}=9$.

Step3: Solve equation ③

Multiply both sides of $\frac{v}{3}=-11$ by 3, so $v=-11\times3=-33$.

Step4: Solve equation ④

Add 9 to both sides of $w - 9=22$, so $w=22 + 9=31$.

Step5: Solve equation ⑤

Divide both sides of $-7t = 42$ by $-7$, so $t=\frac{42}{-7}=-6$.

Step6: Solve equation ⑥

Multiply both sides of $\frac{-1}{5}y=-20$ by $-5$, so $y=-20\times(-5)=100$.

Step7: Solve equation ⑦

Simplify $-32=x+(-20)$ to $-32=x - 20$, then add 20 to both sides, so $x=-32 + 20=-12$.

Step8: Solve equation ⑧

Divide both sides of $-48 = 2q$ by 2, so $q=\frac{-48}{2}=-24$.

Step9: Solve equation ⑨

Multiply both sides of $13=\frac{n}{10}$ by 10, so $n=13\times10 = 130$.

Step10: Solve equation ⑩

Subtract 19 from both sides of $-50=19 + p$, so $p=-50 - 19=-69$.

Step11: Solve equation ⑪

Divide both sides of $-15r=-75$ by $-15$, so $r=\frac{-75}{-15}=5$.

Step12: Solve equation ⑫

Multiply both sides of $14=\frac{-u}{4}$ by $-4$, so $u=14\times(-4)=-56$.

Step13: Solve equation ⑬

Simplify $x-(-16)=44$ to $x + 16=44$, then subtract 16 from both sides, so $x=44-16 = 28$.

Step14: Solve equation ⑭

Divide both sides of $42 = 6d$ by 6, so $d=\frac{42}{6}=7$.

Step15: Solve equation ⑮

Multiply both sides of $\frac{1}{8}y=-12$ by 8, so $y=-12\times8=-96$.

Step16: Solve equation ⑯

Subtract 11 from both sides of $-4=11 + m$, so $m=-4-11=-15$.

Step17: Solve equation ⑰

Multiply both sides of $-x = 35$ by $-1$, so $x=-35$.

Step18: Solve equation ⑱

Multiply both sides of $-3=\frac{-a}{13}$ by $-13$, so $a=-3\times(-13)=39$.

Step19: Solve equation ⑲

Add 18 to both sides of $-18+z = 18$, so $z=18 + 18=36$.

Step20: Solve equation ⑳

Divide both sides of $-125=-5k$ by $-5$, so $k=\frac{-125}{-5}=25$.
Then match the solutions with the numbers in the code - strings above to get the answers to the two riddles.

Answer:

The answers are obtained by matching the solved values with the numbers in the given code - strings for each riddle. The specific words depend on the matching process with the provided number - letter key. Without the full key for converting numbers to letters, we can't give the final word - answers, but the above are the solved values for each equation.
