Với a³ + b³ + c³ = 3abc thì

Từ đẳng thức đã cho suy ra \({a^3}\; + {b^3}\; + {c^3}\; - 3abc = 0\)

\({b^3}\; + {c^3}\; = \left( {b + c} \right)\left( {{b^2}\; + {c^2}\; - bc} \right)\)\( = \left( {b + c} \right)\left[ {{{\left( {b + c} \right)}^2}\; - 3bc} \right]\)\( = {\left( {b + c} \right)^3}\; - 3bc\left( {b + c} \right)\)\( \Rightarrow {a^3}\; + {b^3}\; + {c^3}\; - 3abc = {a^3}\; + \left( {{b^3}\; + {c^3}} \right) - 3abc\)\( = {a^3}\; + {\left( {b + c} \right)^3} - 3bc\left( {b + c} \right) - 3abc\)\( = \left( {a + b + c} \right)\left( {{a^2}\; - a\left( {b + c} \right) + {{\left( {b + c} \right)}^2}} \right) - \left[ {3bc\left( {b + c} \right) + 3abc} \right]\)\( = \left( {a + b + c} \right)\left( {{a^2}\; - a\left( {b + c} \right) + {{\left( {b + c} \right)}^2}} \right) - 3bc\left( {a + b + c} \right)\)\( = \left( {a + b + c} \right)\left( {{a^2}\; - a\left( {b + c} \right) + {{\left( {b + c} \right)}^2}\; - 3bc} \right)\)\( = \left( {a + b + c} \right)\left( {{a^2}\; - ab\; - ac + {b^2}\; + 2bc + {c^2}\; - 3bc} \right)\)\( = \left( {a + b + c} \right)\left( {{a^2}\; + {b^2}\; + {c^2}\; - ab - ac - bc} \right)\)

Do đó nếu \({a^3}\; + \left( {{b^3}\; + {c^3}} \right) - 3abc = 0\) thì \(a + b + c\; = 0\) hoặc \({a^2}\; + {b^2}\; + {c^2}\; - ab - ac - bc = 0\)

Mà \({a^2}\; + {b^2}\; + {c^2}\; - ab - ac - bc = \left[ {{{\left( {a - b} \right)}^2}\; + {{\left( {a - c} \right)}^2}\; + {{\left( {b - c} \right)}^2}} \right]\)

Nếu \({\left( {a - b} \right)^2}\; + {\left( {a - c} \right)^2}\; + {\left( {b - c} \right)^2}\; = 0 \Leftrightarrow \;\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{a - b = 0}\\{b - c = 0}\\{a - c = 0}\end{array}} \right. \Rightarrow a = b = c\)

Vậy \({a^3}\; + \left( {{b^3}\; + {c^3}} \right) = 3abc\) thì \(a = b = c\) hoặc \(a + b + c = 0\).
