Simplification of load on beam for Max M and D

Guys I have tricky question :

I have beam loaded like that:
Hand-drawn beam diagram with a pin support at the left end and a roller support at the right; four triangular distributed loads labelled 6kN/m, 6kN/m, 6kN/m and 3kN/m, with point loads of 10kN between them, and span lengths 2m, 2m, 2m and 3m.


Is there any easy way to do simplification of this load ( I don't mean transfer the UDL to Point Load). Mentioned that I mean the way to not do the calculation of moment to find max in 4 section and the two almost 4 double integrals to get the deflection formula.

Is there a way to change all to point load sum up and place in some x position? Or there is no way to find this max moment and deflection formula easier way?
 
Since deflection is the second integral of moment, you could conceivably find point loads that cause the same maximum moment in each section and it should provide identical maximum deflection.
