The equation
$$(x^2 + x + 2) + (y^2 + y + 2) = (z^2 + z + 2)$$
has infinitely many integer solution triples (x,y,z).

Here's one class of solutions:

\begin{align*}
x &= n\\
y &= \frac{n(n+1)}{2}\\
z &= \frac{n^2+n+2}{2}\\
\end{align*}

where n is an arbitrary integer.

For some special case solution is always there and the formula is as follows. diophantine equations - Curves triangular numbers. - Mathematics Stack Exchange
