    We discuss the problem \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\operatorname{div}\left( \left\vert \nabla u\right\vert ^{p(x)-2}\nabla u\right) =\lambda (a\left( x\right) \left\vert u\right\vert ^{q(x)-2}u+b(x)\left\vert u\right\vert ^{h(x)-2}u)\text{,} & \text{for }x\in \Omega , \\ u=0\text{,} & \text{for }x\in \partial \Omega . \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where Ω\Omega is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in RN\mathbb{R}^{N} (N2)\left( N\geq 2\right) and pp is Lipschitz continuous, qq and hh are continuous functions on Ω\overline{\Omega } such that 1<q(x)<p(x)<h(x)<p(x)1<q(x)<p(x)<h(x)<p^{\ast }(x) and p(x)<Np(x)<N. We show the existence of at least one nontrivial weak solution. Our approach relies on the variable exponent theory of Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces combined with adequate variational methods and the Mountain Pass Theorem
