In this paper we are interested in solving the Fermat-type equations x5+y5=dzp where d is a positive integer and p a prime number ≥ 7. We describe a new method based on modularity theorems which allows us to improve all the results in a previous paper of the first author. We finally discuss the present limitations of the method by looking at the case d=3.
