Answer:
The Equation is [tex]3x+2=50[/tex] and there were 16 friends at Jacks Party.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total Chocolates Jack have = 50
Let the number of friends at Jack's party be x.
He gave 3 chocolates to each of his friends.
Total chocolates given to friend = 3x
And still had 2 chocolates left.
Chocolate left = 2
hence the equation can be framed as;
Total Chocolates Jack have is equal Total Chocolates to Jack friends plus chocolate left
Hence the equation is;
[tex]3x+2=50[/tex]
Now Solving the above equation to find number of friends we get;
[tex]3x+2=50\\3x=50-2\\3x=48\\x=\frac{48}{3}=16[/tex]
Hence there were 16 friends at jack's party.
Equation: [tex]3x+2=50[/tex]
Friends: 16
