Abstract: In this paper, we give a resolution of the generalized Fermat equations ${\displaystyle }$x^5 + y^5 = 3 z^n ext{ and } x^{13} + y^{13} = 3 z^n,${\displaystyle }$ for all integers $nge2$, and all integers $nge2$ which are not a multiple of $7$, respectively, using the modular method with Frey elliptic curves over totally real fields. The results require a refined application of the multi-Frey technique, which we show to be effective in new ways to reduce the bounds on the exponents $n$. We also give a number of results for the equations $x^5+y^5=d{z}^n$, where $d=1,2$, under additional local conditions on the solutions. This includes a result which is reminiscent of the second case of Fermat's Last Theorem, and which uses a new application of level raising at $p$ modulo $p$.
