The bat weighs 10kg.
Two equations can be gotten from the question:
5a + 4b = 58 equation 1
4a + 5b = 50 equation 2
Where:
a = weight of bats
b = weight of balls
The two equations are simultaneous equations and would be solved using the elimination method.
In order to determine the weight of balls, take the following steps:
Multiply equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 5
20a + 16b = 232 equation 3
20a + 25b = 250 equation 4
Subtract equation 3 from 4
18 = 9b
Divide both sides of the equation by 9
b = 2kg
In order to determine the weight of bats, take the following steps:
Replace for b in equation 1
5a + 4(2) = 58
5a + 8 = 58
5a = 58 - 8
5a = 50
Divide both sides of the equation by 5
a = 10kg
