    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.
