An algebra problem by Phudish Prateepamornkul

Algebra Level 4

{ a 3 b 2 + b 3 c 2 + c 3 a 2 = 103 1024 a 2 b 3 + b 2 c 3 + c 2 a 3 = 125 1024 a 2 b 2 c + a 2 b c 2 + a b 2 c 2 = 33 512 \begin{cases} a^{3} b^{2}+b^{3} c^{2}+c^{3}a^{2} = \dfrac{103}{1024} \\ a^{2} b^{3}+b^{2}c^{3}+c^{2}a^{3} = \dfrac{125}{1024} \\ a^{2} b^{2} c+a^{2} b c^{2}+a b^{2}c^{2} = \dfrac{33}{512}\end{cases}

Let reals a a , b b and c c satisfy the system of equations above. If a b c + b c a + c a b = x y \dfrac{a-b}{c}+\dfrac{b-c}{a}+\dfrac{c-a}{b} = - \dfrac{x}{y} , where x x and y y are coprime positive integers, find x + y x+y .


The answer is 4.
