2020 AIME II Problem 11
Let P(x) = x^2 - 3x - 7, and let Q(x) and R(x) be two quadratic polynomials also with the coefficient of x^2 equal to 1. David computes each of the three sums P + Q, P + R, and Q + R and is surprised to find that each pair of these sums has a common root, and these three common roots are distinct. If Q(0) = 2, then R(0) = \frac{m}{n}, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m + n.
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
