During transmission, the messages have been intercepted by a rival

organisation of fanatical algebraists, who have replaced the original numbers
with algebraic expressions. A double agent within the rival organisation has
passed us the following information regarding the values that the letters in the
algebraic expressions take.
Letter in expression
p
q
r

Value
3
4
5

Letter in expression
s
t
u

With this information can you now decode the messages?

Hint: s-q means 6-4 which equals 2, so

s-q decodes as B

Value
6
7
8
