Easy.

a + b + c = 3 x a+b+c=3x

Expanding this, we shall get : a + b + c = x + x + x . \text{Expanding this, we shall get}: a+b+c=x+x+x.

The a , b , and c all correspond to x . \text{The }a,\text{ }b, \text{ and } c \text{ all correspond to } x.

Therefore, x = a , x = b , and x = c . \text{Therefore, }x=a, x=b, \text{ and } x=c.

Then solve the equation by making the right side equal to zero . \text{Then solve the equation by making the right side equal to zero}.

x = a x a = 0 x=a\rightarrow \color{#0000ff}{x-a=0}

x = b x b = 0 x=b\rightarrow \color{#0000ff}{x-b=0}

x = c x c = 0 x=c\rightarrow \color{#0000ff}{x-c=0}

I am super awesome! lol \color{#ffffff}{\text{I am super awesome! lol}}

= ( x a ) 3 + ( x b ) 3 + ( x c ) 3 3 ( x a ) ( x b ) ( x c ) =(x-a)^3+(x-b)^3+(x-c)^3-3(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)

\color{#ffffff}{\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow}\downarrow\color{#ffffff}{\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow}\downarrow\color{#ffffff}{\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow}\downarrow\color{#ffffff}{\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow}\downarrow\color{#ffffff}{\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow}\downarrow\color{#ffffff}{\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow}\downarrow

= ( xx 0 xx ) 3 + ( xx 0 x ) 3 + x ( xx 0 xx ) 3 3 ( xx 0 xx ) ( xx 0 xx ) ( xx 0 xx ) =(\color{#ffffff}{\text{xx}}0\color{#ffffff}{\text{xx}})^3+(\color{#ffffff}{\text{xx}}0\color{#ffffff}{\text{x}})^3+\color{#ffffff}{x}(\color{#ffffff}{\text{xx}}0\color{#ffffff}{\text{xx}})^3-3(\color{#ffffff}{\text{xx}}0\color{#ffffff}{\text{xx}})(\color{#ffffff}{\text{xx}}0\color{#ffffff}{\text{xx}})(\color{#ffffff}{\text{xx}}0\color{#ffffff}{\text{xx}})

= 0 =0

That isn't necessarily true. Joven Victor Logo For example,I can say that 2+(-5)+9=3(2),but that doesn't mean that 2=3,-5=3 and 9=3

Since the question implies that it holds for every a , b a, b and c c that add up to 3 x 3x , choose a = b = c = x a=b=c=x .

(p+q+r)^{3} = p^{3} + q^{3} + r^{3} + 3(p+q+r)(pq+pr+qr) - 3pqr

then p = x-a ; q=x-b ; r=x-c

0^{3} = (x-a)^{3} + (x-b)^{3} + (x-c)^{3} + 0 - 3(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)

(x-a)^{3} + (x-b)^{3} + (x-c)^{3} - 3(x-a)(x-b)(x-c) = 0 yeah :)
