I read the RHS as abc meaning 100a + 10b + c, not multiplication. So a, b, and c must be non-negative integers less than 10. You still have three equations in three variables, but it can't work as this form means that a simple substitution shows that (apart from a=b=c=0), at least one must be negative and greater than 10.
