Jack's mother gave him 50 chocolates to give to his friends at his birthday party. He gave 3 chocolates to each of his friends and still had 2 chocolates left.

What is the equation for this

3x + 2 = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for this equation is that each friend gets 3 chocolates or 3x, x being the number of friends.

The 2 is the 2 chocolates that are left which can be subtracted from 50 on the other side to have the equation 3x = 48.

X would then equal to 16 people.
