a racket cost $12.00 more than a bat. the cost of two rackets and three bats is $619.
\n" ); document.write( "using x ato represent the cost, in dollars, of a bat.
\n" ); document.write( "(i) write an algebraic expression for the cost of a racket
\n" ); document.write( " racket cost = x+12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(ii) write an algebraic equation to represent the total cost of the two rackets and three bats
\n" ); document.write( "2(x+12) + 3x = 619
\n" ); document.write( "(iii) solve the equation and hence, determine the cost of a racket
\n" ); document.write( " 5x +24 = 619
\n" ); document.write( " 5x = 595
\n" ); document.write( " x = $119 (cost of a bat)
\n" ); document.write( "x+12= $131 (cost of a racket)\r
