Problem

Circles \mathcal{C}_{1} and \mathcal{C}_{2} intersect at two points, one of which is (9,6), and the product of the radii is 68. The x-axis and the line y = mx, where m > 0, are tangent to both circles. It is given that m can be written in the form a\sqrt {b}/c, where a, b, and c are positive integers, b is not divisible by the square of any prime, and a and c are relatively prime. Find a + b + c.
