Let $k$ be a real number such that the system $$ \begin{aligned} |25 + 20i - z| &= 5 \\ |z - 4 - k| &= |z - 3i - k| \end{aligned} $$ 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 $i = \sqrt{-1}$.
