I'm not sure exactly what you want to do with this because of that last = sign on the end of your problem. If you really want to solve this equation:
a%5E3b%5E3c%5E3+-+a%5E2b%5E3c%5E4+=+a%5E3b%5E2c%5E4, then set it equal to zero:
a%5E3b%5E3c%5E3+-+a%5E2b%5E3c%5E4+-+a%5E3b%5E2c%5E4=0

and factor it by taking out the common factor of a%5E2%2Ab%5E2%2Ac%5E3
a%5E2%2Ab%5E2%2Ac%5E3%2A%28ab+-bc+-+ac+%29=0
This means that either a=0, or b= 0 , or c=0, or ab-bc-ac= 0.

I'm not sure if that is what you wanted to do. Maybe we are not on the same frequency here. If you had something else in mind, please re-post it.
