If x+y+z=43
x³+y³+z³=17299
And x,y,z belong to $\mathbb{+Z}$
Then x,y,z=?

I have done this too, but we both are iterating here, is there a proper diophantic non iterating method to solve it? However, thank you for the help

It's the only one.

Also, 3n³ = 17299 n = 17.93 .. So at least one satisfies n>17. x³=17299-18³-z³ So, at least one other satisfies n<22. To sum up, we have: x>17,y<22,z<26 Hope this helps! :)
