Hi!

I have a system of equations, that I want to solve symbolically and
not numerically how can I do this?
example: suppose I have the following system of equations:
x=y+z
y=e+r
z=t+u
I want to obtain x=e+r+t+u as a result.
I have tried the command
Solve[x == y + z && y == e + r && z == t + u, {x}]
 but Solve returns :x=y+z

Can you please help me?
Thank you in advance
