    Here's my submission:

    Converting the 4 equations using a, b, c, d and using x for the final answer:

    a+b+a=21

    c+3+c=13

    c+d=5+4

    a+d=4+9

    a+b+c+d=x

    Simplifying the equations:

    2a+b=21

    2c+3=13

    c+d=9

    a+d=13

    a+b+c+d=x

    Solving for c:

    2c+3=13

    -> 2c=10

    -> c=5

    Solving for d:

    c+d=9

    -> 5+d=9

    -> d=4

    Solving for a:

    a+d=13

    -> a+4=13

    -> a=9

    Solving for b:

    2a+b=21

    -> 2*9+b=21

    -> 18+b=21

    -> b=3

    Substituting in all the numbers:

    x=a+b+c+d

    x=9+3+5+4

    x=21


    The final answer is 21.
