Darn! Yep! Right there in help under Reduce.
Thank you very much. I think I've been confusing this with the
"VerifySolutions" option under Solve. I now understand my mistake. Can't
believe I've missed this all this time.
Thanks again.
equ = {a + b + c == 3, a^2 + b^2 + c^2 < 10,
a^3 + b^3 + c^3 == 15, a^4 + b^4 + c^4 == 35};
sol = {ToRules[Reduce[equ, {a, b, c},
Backsubstitution -> True]]};
Simplify[a^5 + b^5 + c^5 /. sol]
{83, 83, 83, 83, 83, 83}
