Ok, maybe I am totally confused, but it seems to me we have 4 equations in 5 unknowns (a,b,c,d,A), so we can’t get a numeric answer for A without some lucky cancellation.
[edit: oops, the 5th equation is that A can be expressed in terms of any given root directly from the starting equation]
[edit: further oops, this last equation cannot be independent of the others, so A cannot be determined to be a specific number, as others have already said].
