Note: this is solution is incorrect, since I missed the less than, I thought it was just an equal sign.

 

We first need to determine the range of for a:

 

13=1,23=8,33=27,43=64.a=2

 

a=2,since a is even23+b2+c=50b2+c=42

 

Repeating our process, b can be 2, 4, or 6

There is a fixed value for c for each value of b. 

 

Therefore, there are 3 triples that satisfy a3+b2+c=50
