Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás.

\(\displaystyle (x – 2)^2 + (x – 1)^2 + x^2 = (x + 1)^2 + (x + 2)^2,\)

ahol \(\displaystyle x\) egész szám. A zárójeleket felbontva, majd az egyenletet rendezve:

\(\displaystyle 3x^2 – 6x + 5 = 2x^2 + 6x + 5,\)

\(\displaystyle x^2 – 12x = 0,\)

\(\displaystyle x(x – 12) = 0.\)

Azaz \(\displaystyle x = 0\) vagy \(\displaystyle x = 12\). A keresett számok: \(\displaystyle –2\), \(\displaystyle –1\), \(\displaystyle 0\), \(\displaystyle 1\), \(\displaystyle 2\) vagy \(\displaystyle 10\), \(\displaystyle 11\), \(\displaystyle 12\), \(\displaystyle 13\), \(\displaystyle 14\).
