Hi, thickhead yours is the right solution. Thanks for helping me

But thickhead I couldn't get how did you simplified from equation (2) to equation(4) i.e.
ab=30/c and a+b=10-c
so  c³-10c²+31c-30=0

In (2) first term ab is clear ;second and third terms have c common i.e.c(a+b)=c(10-c). i hope you can simplify further.

In my maths test there came this question:


a+b+c=10

a²+b²+c²=38

a³+b³+c³=160

Find the values of a,b and c.

Please tell me the answer with explanation.
