Find all integer solutions of:

x2+y2+ z2=2x-3z+5
x2+y2+3x=2

Any remarks?

(x,y,z)
 ( -1 , +/- 2 , -1 )
 ( -1 , +/- 2 , -2 )
 ( -1 , +/- 2 , -1 )
 ( -1 , +/- 2 , -2 )
 
 
(1) x^2+y^2+ z^2 = 2x-3z+5
(2) x^2+y^2+3x   = 2

subtract (2) from (1)
z^2 - 3x  = 2x-3z+3
z^2 + 3z -(5x+3) = 0

z = [-3 +/- sqrt(9+4(5x+3))]/2
z = -1.5 +/- [sqrt(20x + 21)]/2

If x is -1, then z = {-1 or -2}
For any other values of x, at least those which make
  20x + 21 a square, per Eqn (2), y^2 is negative
     y^2  = 2 - 3x - x^2

So the above are the only integer values
