Abstract

In this paper, we present new series of solutions of the Diophantine equation 3<sup>x</sup>+ p5<sup>y</sup>= z<sup>2</sup>where p is a prime number and x; y and z are nonnegative integers using elementary techniques. Moreover, the equation has no solution if p is equivalent to 5 or 7 modulo 24.
