Solutions of a homogeneous (r + 1)-term linear difference equation are given in two different forms. One involves the elements of a certain matrix, while the other is in terms of certain lower Hessenberg determinants. The results generalize some earlier results of Brown [1] for the solution of a 3-term linear difference equation.
