Summary:This note proposes a unique solutions to find out the value of x, y and z which satisfies the equation . The uniqueness of the proposed formulae is to find the total number of y's and z's at a given value of x. The value of y and z can be calculated by factoring . In addition to this, the proposed solution guarantees the integral value of y and z for the given integral value of x.
