Problem
Let the ordered triples of complex numbers that satisfy be Find
Solution
Subtracting the equations and we get Then so Hence, or
If then and Then by Vieta's formulas, and are the roots of Thus, for two ordered triples
If then Squaring the second equation, we get Then which simplifies to By Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots is 5, so the sum of all the is
