I was just wondering if there was a way to solve the systems of equations a+b+c=x, ab+ac+bc=y, and abc=z, given that a,b,c,x,y,z are integers. I know that this is basically asking for the cubic formula, but I was wondering if there was a nier way to do it. 

 

Thanks for any help I get.

There are an infinite number of solutions to the question you asked - see below.  Perhaps you meant to add another condition.

a problem would be something like a+b+c=4,ab+ac+bc=22, abc=65. I don't really understand what you ment by an infinite number of solution, but thanks for taking the time to answer.

The other condition seems to be that you specify in advance the values of x, y and z.  It wasn't clear from your original question that that was what was intended!
