Let 2a_1 +(n−1)d_1 =(3n+31)k_1 , then 2a_2 +(n−1)d_2 =(5n−3)k_1 (2a_1 −d_1 )+nd_1 =3nk_1 +31k_1 ...(1) If (1) is true for all n (coeffiient must be equal) nd_1 =3nk_1 ⇒d_1 =3k_1 2a_1 −d_1 =31k_1 ⇒a_1 =17k_1 similarly d_2 =5k_1 a_2 =k_1 9th term a_1 +8d_1 =17k_1 +24k_1 =41k_1 a_2 +8d_2 =k_1 +40k_1 =41k_1 So 9th terms are equal.

This method is simpler.
