Question 1076934: 1. Ichiro Suzuki holds the American League record for the most hits in a single baseball season. In 2004, Suzuki
had a total of 262 hits for the Seattle Mariners. He hit three fewer triples than home runs, and he hit three times as
many doubles as home runs. Suzuki also hit 45 times as many singles as triples.
a) Setup 4 equations using the information given, and the following variables:
s = single, d = double, t = triple, h = home run

i need to set up 4 equations and dont know where to start

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
s+d+t+h=262
h-3=t
d=3h
s=45t
substitute
45t+3h+t+h-3=262
but h=3+t
45t+3(3+t)+t+t+3=262
45t+9+3t+2t+3=262
50t=250
t=5
h=8
d=24
s=225
1===1===1===1===262
0===0==-1===1====3
0===1==0===-3====0
1===0==-45==0====0
That is the matrix.
