If $a,b,c \in R$ are distinct, then $-a^3-b^3-c^3+3abc \neq 0$.

Solution 1:

HINT: $$a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc$$

$$=(a+b)^3-3ab(a+b)+c^3-3abc=(a+b)^3+c^3-3ab(a+b+c)$$

$$=(a+b+c)\{(a+b)^2-(a+b)c+c^2\}-3ab(a+b+c)$$

$$=(a+b+c)\{(a+b)^2-(a+b)c+c^2-3ab\}$$

$$=(a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca)$$ $$=(a+b+c)\frac{\{(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2\}}2$$

which will be $>=<0 $ according as $a+b+c>=<0$ as for real distinct $a,b,c,$ each of $(a-b)^2,(b-c)^2,(c-a)^2>0$

Solution 2:

You statement is wrong, see $(0,-1,1)$.
