To make this easy let covert everything using a LCD.
The LCD of 1/4 1/12 and 1/6 is 12. This becomes...
Tom ate 3/12 of the pizza.
Leftover pizza = 9/12.
Slices were 1/12.
X friends got pizza.
Remaining pizza is 2/12.
if each friend got 1 piece(1/12)....
9/12(Leftovers) - 2/12(remaining) = 7/12
So 7 friends got pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:
34-5x+2(x-2)=15 1st get rid of () by distributing the 2.
34-5x+2x-4=15 Now collect like terms.
30-3x=15 Get -3x by itself by subtracting 30 in both sides.
-3x=-15 You want X by itself so divide by -3 on both sides.
x=5
