Jacks mother gave him 50 chocolates to give to his friends at his birthday party. he gave 3 chocalate a to each of his friends and still had 2 chocolates left

Equation: 3x+2=50

Number of Friends: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it says that he had 50 chocolates so 50 is your total amount then he gave 3 chocolates to each of his friends but since u do not know how many friends he gave the chocolates to it becomes your x so 3x and he had 2 left so your equation is 3x+2=50. To find the number of friends solve the equation or the simple way do 50-2=48 then 48 divided by 3= 16
