The Well known Doublet ( x , y ) (x,y)

For x , y , n N x,y,n\in\mathbb N , a , b N 0 a,b\in\mathbb N_0 and n 3 n\geq3 , solve the following equation if the gcd ( x , y ) = 1 \gcd(x,y)=1

x 2 + 2 a 3 b = y n \large x^2+2^a\cdot3^b=y^n

If the sum of possible values of n n is p p and the number of ordered doublets ( x , y ) (x,y) is q q .

Then enter your answer as p + q p+q .

I don't think that It is famous but yes I got the question from the same pdf when I was searching for diophantines that can be solved by the ring of Gaussian integers. Anyways I thought you might have an easier solution. Thanks for the reply.
