Since 
, the imaginary part of a,b,c must be 0.
Start with a, since it's the easiest one to do:
and therefore:
, 
, 
now, do the part where the imaginery part of c is 0, since it's the second easiest one to do:
, the imaginery part is: 
, which is 0, and therefore x=4, since x=0 don't work,
so now, 
and therefore:
, and finally, we have 
.
