What values of a, b, and c yield a true statement in the equation below?
a= ?
b=?
c=?

Answer:
(a, b, c) = (8, 3, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Remove cubes from under the radical. Combine terms.
[tex]\sqrt[3]{16} +2\sqrt[3]{54} =\sqrt[3]{2^3\cdot 2}+2\sqrt[3]{3^3\cdot 2}\\\\=2\sqrt[3]{2}+2\cdot 3\sqrt[3]{2}=(2+6)\sqrt[3]{2}\\\\=8\sqrt[3]{2}\equiv a\sqrt[b]{c}\ \longrightarrow\ \boxed{(a,b,c)=(8,3,2)}[/tex]
