Problem

Let $k$ be a real number such that the system \begin{align*} &|25 + 20i - z| = 5 \\ &|z - 4 - k| = |z - 3i - k| \end{align*} has exactly one complex solution $z$. The sum of all possible values of $k$ can be written as $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$. Here $i = \sqrt{-1}$.
