Abstract
We give the complete solutions to the diophantine equation X+Y+Z=W in coprime positive integers X, Y, Z, W such that each of the numbers X, Y, Z, W has prime factors 2 and 3 only. The solution with the largest value of W is 2333 + 29 + 1= 36. The method works for any pair of primes (p, q) in place of (2, 3).
