From the equation, we know that A+B+C=C+10x and x is an unknown positive integer. Because both A and B are non-zero so x≠0, and the max sum of A and B is 17, so x≤1.7, which means the only value of x is 1(x=1). And then we know that A+B=10x=10. so A A \overline{AA} + + B B \overline{BB} = 110 =110 . Because of C C \overline{CC} must be no larger than 99. As a result, A can only be 1, and B can only be 9. Now A B C \overline{ABC} can be written as 19 C \overline{19C} because A A \overline{AA} B B \overline{BB} and C C \overline{CC} are all mutilple of 11, and 198 is larger but the closest one to 19 C \overline{19C} .So we got C=8

Now is the moment of truth: A A \overline{AA} + + B B \overline{BB} + + C C \overline{CC} = 11 =11 + + 99 99 + + 88 88 = 198 =198
