Abstract: For any $mge3$, every integer of the form $p_m(x)=frac(m-2)x^2-(m-4)x2$ with $xinz$ is said to be a generalized $m$-gonal number. Let $aleblec$ be positive integers. For every non negative integer $n$, if there are integers $x,y,z$ such that $n=a{p}_k(x)+b{p}_k(y)+c{p}_k(z)$, then the quadruple $(k;a,b,c)$ is said to be {it universal}. Sun gave in cite{s1} all possible quadruple candidates that are universal and proved some quadruples to be universal (see also cite{gs}). He remains the following quadruples $(5,1,1,k)$ for $k=6,8,9,10$, $(5,1,2,8)$, and $(5,1,3,s)$ for $7lesle8$ as candidates and conjectured the universality of them. In this article we prove that the remaining 7 quadruples given above are, in fact, universal.
