Abstract: Let p be a prime number where p ≡ 2 (mod 3). In this work, we give a nonnegative integer solution for
the Diophantine equation 3<sup>x</sup>+p<sup>y</sup>=z<sup>2</sup>
. If y = 0, then (p, x, y, z) = (p, 1, 0, 2) is the only solution of the equation
for each prime number p. If y is not divisible by 4, then the equation has a unique solution (p, x, y, z) = (2, 0, 3, 3).
In case that y is a positive integer that is not divisible by 4, we give a necessary condition for an existence of a
solution and give a computational result for p < 10<sup>17</sup>. We also give a necessary condition for an existence of a solution for q<sup>x</sup> + p<sup>y</sup>=z<sup>2</sup> when p and q are distinct prime numbers.
