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.

All you have to do is you only need to evaluate the given equation which is:100 + 20m where m would be the number of minutes = 5 1/4 minutes
100 + 20 (5 1/4)
= 100 + 105
= 205 cubic liters is the volume of water in Marcel’s pool after he fills it.
Triangle ACB and triangle ABD share one side AB. This means they have one side that is congruent; side AB
Angle ABD = Angle ABC
Angle BAC = Angle BAD
The pair of angles that are equal lie on the side AB
Hence, triangle ABC and triangle ABD are congruent by Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)
Answer: Second option
A Coefficient is the answer
