1. Problem Description

The problem involves a system of linear equations with four unknowns: A, B, C, and D. We are given two equations, and we are required to solve the system using the provided equations.
Equation 1: A+B+2C+D=6A + B + 2C + D = -6
Equation 2: 3ABC+D=113A - B - C + D = -11

2. Solution Steps

We are given the following equations:
Equation (1): A+B+2C+D=6A + B + 2C + D = -6
Equation (2): 3ABC+D=113A - B - C + D = -11
We can eliminate B by adding Equation (1) and Equation (2):
(A+B+2C+D)+(3ABC+D)=6+(11)(A + B + 2C + D) + (3A - B - C + D) = -6 + (-11)
4A+C+2D=174A + C + 2D = -17
Let's call this Equation (3):
4A+C+2D=174A + C + 2D = -17

3. Final Answer

4A+C+2D=174A + C + 2D = -17
