contents Let $N$ denote the number of solutions to the generalized Markoff-Hurwitz-type equation \[(a_1X_1^m+\cdots + a_nX_n^m+a)^k=bX_1\cdots X_n \] over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $m,k$ are positive integers, and $a,b,a_i\in \mathbb{F}_q^*$ for $i=1,\dots, n$, with $k,m\ge 2$ and $n\ge 3$. Using techniques from algebraic geometry, we provide an estimate for $N$ and establish conditions under which the equation admits solutions where all $X_i$ are nonzero.
