The sum of distinct values of λ\lambdaλ for which the system of equations :

(λ−1)x+(3λ+1)y+2λz=0(\lambda -1)x+(3\lambda +1)y+2\lambda z=0(λ−1)x+(3λ+1)y+2λz=0

(λ−1)x+(4λ−2)y+(λ+3)z=0(\lambda -1)x+(4\lambda -2)y+(\lambda +3)z=0(λ−1)x+(4λ−2)y+(λ+3)z=0

2x+(3λ+1)y+3(λ−1)z=02x+(3\lambda +1)y+3(\lambda -1)z=02x+(3λ+1)y+3(λ−1)z=0,
