Abstract: In this paper, we study a Ramsey-type problem for equations of the form $ax+by=p(z)$. We show that if certain technical assumptions hold, then any 2-colouring of the positive integers admits infinitely many monochromatic solutions to the equation $ax+by=p(z)$. This entails the $2$-Ramseyness of several notable cases such as the equation $ax+y=z^n$ for arbitrary $ainmathbb{Z}^{+}$ and $nge2$, and also of $ax+by=a_D{z}^D+dots+a_{1}zinmathbbZ[z]$ such that $extgcd(a,b)=1$, $Dge2$, $a,b,a_D>0$ and $a_{1}eq0$.
