For any positive integers \(n\) and \(k\), let \(A(n,k)\) be the number of nonnegative integer solutions \((x_1, x_2,\dots, x_k)\) of the equation \(x_1+ 2x_2+\cdots+ kx_k=n\). It is a well-known fact that \(A(n,3)= [(n+3)^2/12]\). In 1996, \textit{Q.-Q. Wu} [Chin. Sci. Bull. 41, No. 10, 959 (1996)] showed that \[ A(n,4)= [((n+4)^2-9r) (n+7)/144], \] where \(r= (1-(-1)^n)/2\). In the present paper the author proves that \[ A(n,5)= [(n^3+ 21n^2+ 121n+ (-1)^n 45+186) (n+9)/ 2880]. \] The above-mentioned results can be obtained by the generating function method.
