I wrote a parser for you, you can tweak it as you like

var str = '10x+9k-12k-3a-8a=100';
var reg = /([\-+])?\s*(\d+)?([a-z])/g;
var store = {};

function evaluateExp(){
  
  var res = reg.exec(str);
  while(res){
    
    if(!store[res[3]]){
      store[res[3]] = [];
    }

    store[res[3]].push({
        sign: res[1] || '+',
        multiplier: (typeof res[2] != 'undefined') ? parseInt(res[2], 10) : 1
    });
    res = reg.exec(str);
  }
  
  
  Object.keys(store).forEach(function(key){
    
    let val = 0;
    
    store[key].forEach(function(occ){
      if(occ.sign == '+')
        val += occ.multiplier;
      else
        val -= occ.multiplier;
    });
    
    $('ul#results').append('<li>value of '+ key +"="+ val + ';</li>');
  });

}

$(document).ready(function(){
  evaluateExp();
});

<ul id="results" style="list-style-type:none;"><ul>
