We can use the identity (x+y+z)(x^2+y^2+z^2-xy-yz-zx) = x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz to find the value of x^3 + y^3 + z^3 - 3xyz.

Given x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 83 and xyz = 15, we can use these values to find (x+y+z)^2 as follows:

(x+y+z)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 2(xy+yz+zx)

= 83 + 2(xy+yz+zx)

Now, we can use the identity (x+y+z)(x^2+y^2+z^2-xy-yz-zx) = x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz and substitute the values we have:

(x+y+z)(x^2+y^2+z^2-xy-yz-zx) = x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz

(x+y+z)(83-xy-yz-zx) = x^3+y^3+z^3-3(15)

(x+y+z)(83-xy-yz-zx) = x^3+y^3+z^3-45

Now, we can substitute (x+y+z)^2 = 83 + 2(xy+yz+zx) to get:

(x+y+z)(83-xy-yz-zx) = x^3+y^3+z^3-45

(x+y+z)(83-xy-yz-zx) = (x+y+z)^3 - 3(x+y+z)(xy+yz+zx) - 45

(x+y+z)(83-xy-yz-zx) = (x+y+z)^3 - 3xyz(x+y+z) - 45

(x+y+z)(83-xy-yz-zx) = (x+y+z)^3 - 45(x+y+z)

Now, we can substitute the value of (x+y+z) as (x+y+z) = (xyz)^(1/3) = 15^(1/3), and simplify to get:

15^(1/3)(83-xy-yz-zx) = 15^(4/3) - 45*15^(1/3)

15^(1/3)(83-xy-yz-zx) = 36*15^(1/3)

Now we can solve for (xy+yz+zx) as follows:

(xy+yz+zx) = (x^2+y^2+z^2 - (x^3+y^3+z^3 - 3xyz))/2

= (83 - ((x+y+z)^3 - 45(x+y+z) + 3xyz))/2

= (83 - 15^(4/3) + 45*15^(1/3))/2

Finally, we can substitute the values of (xy+yz+zx) and xyz into the expression for x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz to get:

x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz = (x+y+z)(x^2+y^2+z^2-xy-yz-zx)

= (15^(1/3))(83-xy-yz-zx)

= (15^(1/3))(83 - (83 - 15^(4/3) + 45*15^(1/3))/2)

= 15^(1/3)(15^(4/3) - 45*15^(1/3))/2

= 27

The value of x^3 + y^3 + z^3 - 3xyz is 27.
