Let $a,b.c$ be real numbers such that $$\begin{cases}a^2+ab+b^2=9\\ b^2+bc+c^2=52\\ c^2+ca+a^2=49 \end{cases}$$

show that $$\dfrac{49b^2+39bc+9c^2}{a^2}=52$$

I have found this problem solution by geomtry methods.solution 1,can you someone have Algebra methods?

Hint:

$$\begin{cases}a^2+ab+b^2=x\\ b^2+bc+c^2=y\\ c^2+ca+a^2=z \end{cases}$$

Then $$\begin{cases} (a-c)(a+b+c) = x-y\\ (b-a)(a+b+c) = y-z\\ (c-b)(a+b+c) = z-x\\ \end{cases}$$

Let $(a+b+c)^{-1}=k$, then

$$\begin{cases} (a-c) = (x-y)k\\ (b-a) = (y-z)k\\ (c-b) = (z-x)k\\ \end{cases}$$
