First, try 99^3 = 970299; therefore, it is not the least possible value.
The above number is a multiple of 99, so we can factor this out to find the least possible value. So we try to factor 99:
99 = 9 * 11
99 = 3^2 * 11^ 1
and 3^3 * 11^3 = 35937
The least possible value is 4^1 + 11^2 = 125. Its sum is 125 which is a perfect cube.
Multiply everything in the parenthesis by 3.
9x - 24 = 4x + 6
Add 24 to both sides.
9x = 4x + 30
Subtract 4x from both sides.
5x = 30
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 6
Hope this helps!
