Answer:
x=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
x+8=1
- Subtract 8 from both sides.
(2,110)(5,114.5)
slope = (114.5 - 110) / (5 - 2) = 4.5 / 3 = 1.5
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1.5
use either of ur points..(2,110)...x = 2 and y = 110
now we sub and find b, the y int
110 = 1.5(2) + b
110 = 3 + b
110 - 3 = b
107 = b
so ur equation is : y = 1.5x + 107 <==
It should be,
4x-8=2x-10 because you substitute that for y.
Now you do,
4x-2x because you do the opposite of the positive 2x as you bring it to the other side.
That is,
2x-8=10 now you bring the 8 to the other side.
2x=10+8 I added it because I do the opposite and it is a negative 8 so I add.
2x+18 now divide
x=9 that's the answer.
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.
