Problem

Let $a, b, c,$ and $d$ be real numbers that satisfy the system of equations \[a + b = -3\]\[ab + bc + ca = -4\]\[abc + bcd + cda + dab = 14\]\[abcd = 30.\]There exist relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$ such that \[a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 = \frac{m}{n}.\]Find $m + n$.

Solution

We can't have a solution without a problem.
