Understanding Dimensional Analysis: Solving for i, j, and k Values

[dexstarr]

I'm having trouble understanding a step. How are the values of " i , j , and k " derived? When equating the powers what step has to be done? I have been stumped on this for a while and I think I'm just over thinking it.

What they have done is to use the fact that the fundamental quantities of length and mass must have exponents of zero, since we wish only to have a unit of time left, with an exponent of 1. So this gives us 3 equations in 3 unknowns.
