p + n + d = 232
n + d = p
p + 5n + 10d = 1036
---
p + 5n + 10d = 1036
n + d + 5n + 10d = 1036
6n + 11d = 1036
---
p + n + d = 232
n + d + n + d = 232
2n + 2d = 232
n + d = 116
---
n + d = p
---
Answer 1:
p = 116
---
n + d = 116
n = 116 - d
---
6n + 11d = 1036
6(116 - d) + 11d = 1036
696 - 6d + 11d = 1036
5d = 340
---
Answer 2:
d = 68
---
Final answer:
p = 116
n = 48
d = 68
