Show that 279 can be expressed as the sum of a power of 3

and a square number.

279 = 3^5 + 6^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest power of 3 that 279 can be expressed is 5

3 raise to the power of 5 is 243

The difference between 279 and 243 is 36

The square root of 36 is 6

Therefore, 279 is the sum of 3 raise to the power of 5 and the square of 6.
