The author determines all the solutions \(x_1<x_2<\dots<x_{11}\) of the equation \( 1 = \sum_{i=1}^{11}\) in distinct integers \(x_i \in \{3^\alpha \cdot 5^\beta \cdot 7^\gamma;\; \alpha \geq 0,\, \beta \geq 0,\,\gamma \geq 0\}\). This equation has exactly 17 such solutions, all of which are given; the smallest value for \(x_{11}\) is \(x_{11}=135\).
