Solution

a − 2b + 3c = 0

a3 − 8b3 + 27c3

x3 + y3 + z3 − 3xyz = (x + y + z) (x2 + y2 + z2 − xy − yz − zx)

a3 − (2b)3 + (3c)3 = a3 − 8b3 + 27c3

a3 + (−2b)3 + (3c)3

x + y + z = 0 ⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz

  • x = a

  • y = −2b

  • z = 3c

a − 2b + 3c = 0 ⇒ x + y + z = 0

x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz ⇒ a3 + (−2b)3 + (3c)3 = 3(a) (−2b) (3c)

= 3⋅a⋅(−2b)⋅3c = −18abc

a3 − 8b3 + 27c3 = −18abc
