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.

I think multiplication but I’m not sure sorry
Answer:
Associative.
Step-by-step explanation:
In addition and multiplication, it does not matter which two numbers you put together first. On the left aide 6 is associated with 3. On the right side 3 is grouped with 7. It doesn't matter where 3 goes. You still get the same answer.
(6 + 3) + 7 = 6 + (3 + 7)
9 + 7 = 6 + 10
16 = 16
