She has 24 friends.

Explanation

Suppose, the number of friends is  

She gave 3 pieces of gum each of her friends. So, the total number of gums given to numbers of friends will be:

She had total 77 pieces of gums and after giving to her friends, she has only 5 remaining. So, the equation will be......

So, she has total 24 friends.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
