Problem Statement

Let a,b,c,a, b, c, and dd be real numbers that satisfy the system of equations \begin{align*} a+b&=-3\\ ab+bc+ca&= -4\\ abc+bcd+cda+dab&=14\\ abcd&=30. \end{align*} There exist relatively prime positive integers mm and nn such that a2+b2+c2+d2=mn.a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 = \frac{m}{n}. Find m+nm + n.
