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:

Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is in the image

Answer:
The question = (7^3)*(7^x)
When multiplying two exponents with the same base, all you do is add the exponents together and keep the same base
Therefore,
(7^3)*(7^x) = 7^(3+x)
Step-by-step explanation:
7^3+x is the answer
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying terms with exponents make the exponents add together.
13.) x² · x⁵ = x⁷
14.) b⁵ · b³ = b⁸
15.) y⁴ · y⁷ = y¹¹
16.) m⁴ · m¹ = m⁵
Step-by-step explanation:
number 1 is 68 degrees Fahrenheit and number 2 is 98.6=37 degrees Celsius and 102 fahrenheit is higher than the normal
