Let $a$ and $b$ be the roots of the equation: $x^2 - 10cx - 11d = 0$ where $c$ and $d$ be the roots of $x^2 - 10ax - 11b = 0$. Find the value of $a+b+c+d$, assuming that they all are distinct.
I first tried making an equation with roots $(a+b)$ and $(c+d)$ to get the sum of the roots, however I wasn't able to solve this question using that method as the answer which I got was in terms of the variables itself.
I also tried placing $a$ into the first equation and $c$ into the second to cancel out a common term ($-10ac$), but after cancelling, I got: $(a^2 - c^2 - 11d + 11b = 0)$. Now I don't know how to move ahead.
