a a a a a a 1 1 1 1 1 1 a 1 0 1 0 1 3 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 1 3 ⋅ 3 7 = b ⋅ c ⋅ a a ⋅ a b ⋅ b c = b c ( 1 1 a ) ( 1 0 a + b ) ( 1 0 b + c ) = b c ( 1 0 a + b ) ( 1 0 b + c ) = b ⋅ c ⋅ a b ⋅ b c Divide both sides by 1 1 a .
Since there is only one 1 in the LHS and one a in the RHS, a = 1 , then a b = 1 3 , ⟹ b = 3 and c = 7 . ⟹ a + b + c = 1 + 3 + 7 = 1 1 .
