In Mathematica, these are assignments, not equations. An
equation is written using "==" not "=" in Mathematica.

It is hard to comment on the above since you omitted the
function you tried. In any case, first create a list of equations
In[1]:= eqns = {x == a + b, y == c + d, a == z + t, b ==
= y};
then the desired result can be obtained using Eliminate as follows:
In[2]:= Eliminate[eqns, {a, b, y}]
Out[2]= c+d+t+z==x
