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 
 Answer by Boreal(15235)      (Show Source): 
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.
