Abstract: In 2014, T. Komatsu and L. Szalay studied the balancing binomial coefficients. In this paper, we focus on the following Diophantine equation ${\displaystyle }$�inom{1}{5}+�inom{2}{5}+...+�inom{x-1}{5}=�inom{x+1}{5}+...+�inom{y}{5}${\displaystyle }$ where $y>x>5$ are integer unknowns. We prove that the only integral solution is $(x,y)=(14,15)$. Our method is mainly based on the linear form in elliptic logarithms.
