The thief originally stole 64 plants.
<h3>What is arithmetic?</h3>
In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.
Here,
Let the number of plants originally stolen by the thief be x.
On the way out, the thief meets three security guards, one after another. To each security guard, the thief is forced to give one-half of the plants that he still had, plus 2 more.
Here,
For gourd 1 the planet is given = 1/2 x
For gourd 2 the planet is given = 1/2 * 1/2 x = 1/4 x
For gourd 3 the planet is given = 1/2*1/4 x = 1/8 x
Total plant given to the gourds = 1/2x +1/4x +1/8x + 2 = 7/x/8x +2
Finally, the thief leaves the nursery with 10 plants
x - 7x/8 + 2 = 10
x/8 = 8
x = 64
Thus, the thief stole 64 plants.

Answer:
Divide 12 by 6........................D
Answer:
f(g(5)) = 16.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate f(g(5)), evaluate g(5) then substitute the value obtained into f(x)
g(5) = 
× 5 = 2.5 , then
f(2.5) = 5(2.5) + 4 = 12.5 + 4 = 16.5
#1 is true. The term they have in common is y with an invisible coefficient in-front of the second y term
#2 has zero like terms. 15 has no variable, and the other terms have different variables.
#3 has two like terms, that’s 9 and 8 which add to equal 17. The answer is 3x + 17 aka D.
#4 has two like terms, the numbers with the variable ‘n’. 4n + 7n = 11n. Your answer is 11n + 12 aka D
Answer:
15 and 17 are both undefined, 16 the slope is 0
