Summary	We use character sums over finite fields to give formulas for the number of solutions of certain diagonal equations of the forma1x1 m1+a2x2 m2+⋯+anxn mn=c. We also show that if the value distribution of character sums ∑x∈Fqχ(axm+bx), a,b∈Fq, is known, then one can obtain the number of solutions of the system of equations{x1+x2+⋯+xn=αx1 m+x2 m+⋯+xn m=β for some particular m. We finally apply our results to induce some facts about Waring`s problems and the covering radius of certain cyclic codes.
