Adding the second and third:
y3 + z3 = 2xyz
Adding the first and second
x3 + y3 = 2xyz - 1
Substituting from above
x3 + y3 = y3 + z3 - 1
x3 = z3 - 1
Know any numbers whose cubes differ by one?

I believe that you mean (assuming three numbers are x, y and z)...
x3 = xyz + 2
y3 = xyz - 3 and
z3 = xyz + 3.
This looks like a rather hard system to solve. Have you tried TRIAL & ERROR? (I suggest that you could try an Excel spreadsheet in which different small integers were chosen for (x,y,z) triples, and then have various columns computing their cubes and the other three right hand sides above.)
