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 and c that add up to 3 x , choose 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 :)

Easy.
a + b + c = 3 x
Expanding this, we shall get : a + b + c = x + x + x .
The a , b , and c all correspond to x .
Therefore, x = a , x = b , and x = c .
Then solve the equation by making the right side equal to zero .
x = a → x − a = 0
x = b → x − b = 0
x = c → x − c = 0
I am super awesome! lol
= ( x − a ) 3 + ( x − b ) 3 + ( x − c ) 3 − 3 ( x − a ) ( x − b ) ( x − c )
