Question 1150077: If a, b, and c are positive integers, find the sum a+b+c if (a^3)(b)=1375, (b^3)(c)=3993 and (a)(c^3)=135.

.
HINT. decompose 1375, 3993 and 135 into products of prime numbers.
Then compare indexes in decompositions with the indexes in expressions.
From it, find "a", "b" and "c" through simple logic analysis.
This problem is for advanced students, so if your level is ADEQUATE, you will be able to continue and to complete on your own.
If not, hence you are in wrong class.
