If a, b, and c are positive integers less than 13 such that: 

2ab + bc + ca ≡ 0 (mod 13)

ab + 2bc + ca ≡ 3abc (mod 13)

ab + bc + 2ca ≡ 8abc (mod 13)

What is the remainder when a + b + c is divided by 13?

 

Thanks in advance!

I want a helpful solution, I'm not trying to brute force it with Wolfram Alpha. Thanks though!
