Let's us write the expression as below : n 2 + 2 0 n + 1 5 = x 2 ( n + 1 0 ) 2 − x 2 = 8 5 ( n + x + 1 0 ) ( n − x + 1 0 ) = 8 5 For n + 1 0 > x ( n + x + 1 0 ) ( n − x + 1 0 ) = { 8 5 × 1 5 × 1 7 Equating the equations above and solving for n we get n = 3 3 and 1 .
For n + 1 0 < x ( n + x + 1 0 ) ( n − x + 1 0 ) = { − 8 5 × − 1 − 5 × − 1 7 Doing same as previous equations and solving for n we get n = − 5 3 and − 2 1
Therefore, sum of all possible integers of n is 1 + 3 3 − 5 3 − 2 1 = − 2 0 − 2 0 = − 4 0 .
