Given the first equation:
a = b − c . . . ( 1 )
and the second one:
b = c − d . . . ( 2 )
If we use substitution for the first and second equation, we'll get:
a = b − c
a = c − d − c
a = − d . . . ( 4 )
Given the third equation:
c = d − a . . . ( 3 )
If we use substitution for the second and third equation, we'll get:
b = c − d
b = d − a − d
b = − a = d . . . ( 5 )
If we use substitution for the third and fourth equation, we'll get:
c = d − a
c = d + d
c = 2 d . . . ( 6 )
If we put all equation into the main equation, we'll get:
b a + c b + d c + a d
= d − d + 2 d d + d 2 d + − d d
= − 1 + 2 1 + 2 − 1
= 2 1
