In this paper, we investigate the meromorphic solutions of the Fermat-type differential equations f’(z)n + f(z+c)m = eAz+B (c ≠ 0) over the complex plane C for positive integers m, n, and A, B, c are constants. Our results improve and extend some earlier results given by Liu et al. Moreover, some examples are presented to show the preciseness of our results.
