We consider the equation (x1 + . . . + xn)m = ax1 . . . xn, where a is a nonzero element of the finite field Fq, n ≥ 2, and m is a positive integer. Explicit formulas for the number of solutions of this equation in under the condition d ∈ {1, 2, 3, 6}, where d = gcd(m – n, q – 1), are found. Moreover, we obtain formulas for the number of solutions for arbitrary d > 2 if there exists positive integer l such that d | (pl + 1), where p is the characteristic of Fq .
