The answer is given above
Answer:
<u>6 kg</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
J = mass of nuts gathered by James
H = mass of nuts gathered by Harry
J = 12 + H
J = 3H
3H = 12 + H
3H - H = 12 + H - H
2H = 12
H = 6 kg
J = 18 kg
First, we can see that he used the Distributive property. Then after that, he used the Additive property. After that, he combined like terms and the used the additive property again. Finally, he used the divisive property.

Answer: 14.85 + c = 20</h3>
============================================================
Reason:
To compute the change, we subtract the amount William gives the cashier (the $20) and the price of the book ($14.85)
The change c is
c = 20-14.85
To rearrange this equation, we can add 14.85 to both sides to end up with 14.85 + c = 20
In other words, solving that equation in bold leads to c = 20-14.85 = 5.15 which is the change William is given.

Extra info (optional section)
If the cashier wanted to mentally figure out the change in his/her head, then notice the jump from 85 cents to 100 cents is 15 cents. That means we go from 14.85 to 15.00
Then the jump from $15 to $20 is an extra 5 dollars. Overall, the total change given back to William is 0.15+5 = 5.15 dollars.
