Rearrange the first equation to make the subject:
a = 32 - 9d
Now substitute into the second equation and solve for
(32 - 9d) + 11d = 106
⇒ 32 + 2d = 106
⇒ 2d = 106 - 32 = 74
⇒ d = 74 ÷ 2 = 37
Substitute found value of into the first equation and solve for
:
a + (9 x 37) = 32
a + 333 = 32
a = 32 - 333 = -301
Therefore, the equation is:
