Problem Statement

Determine all real numbers xRx\in\mathbb{R} for which x2+x3=x2022. \left\lfloor \frac{x}{2} \right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{x}{3} \right\rfloor=x-2022. The notation z\lfloor z \rfloor, for zRz\in\mathbb{R}, denotes the largest integer which is less than or equal to zz. For example: \lfloor 3.98 \rfloor =3   \text{and}   \lfloor 0.14 \rfloor =0.
