Thanks guest, that is a great answer.  I just wanted to think about it a little. 

There are an infinite number of answers.

 

(a)^3 + (b)^3 + (c)^3 = 33

what is a, b and C?

 

If a=b=c then

 

3(a3)=33a3=11a=311a=b=c=311

 

 

Here is another answer.

 

(a)^3 + (b)^3 + (c)^3 = 33

a=1,b=2,c=324

(33/3)^1/3=2.2239800, the values of a, b, c, because a=b=c
