Given:

x = 222,

y = 223

z = 224 

Formula used:

x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (1/2)(x + y + z)[(x - y)2 + (y - z)2 + (z - x)2]

Calculation:

x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (1/2)(222 + 223 + 224)[(222 - 223)2 + (223 - 224)2 + (224 - 222)2]

x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (1/2)(669)[(1) + (1) + (4)]

x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = 3 × 669 

x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = 2007 

∴ The value of x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz is 2007.
