Before jumping into doing this problem, it is important to look at all the information's that have been made available in the question. Based on those given conditions the answer to the problem can be easily deduced.
Let us assume the number of friends Sumalee has = x
Then
2x + 8 = 40
2x = 40 -8
2x = 32
x = 32/2
x = 16
So Sumalee has 16 friends. There are numerous ways to get to the answer that is required to be found. This is the easiest and the shortest method. Hope i helped you.
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The error she made was that she was adding x and 2.75. She should subtract 2.75 from x.
Another mistake that she made was that she sold each for $7 assuming that she would make a profit of 78, but she should see each necklace for $12.5 so that she could make a profit of $78.
Step-by-step explanation:
The error she made was that she was adding x and 2.75.
She should write the equation as 8 (x - 2.75) = 78; as she spends $2.75 to make a necklace.
By using the correct equation: 8 (x - 2.75) = 78
=> 8x - 22 = 78
=> 8x = 78 + 22
=> 8x = 100
=> x = 100/8
=> x = 12.5
Another mistake that she made was that she sold each for $7 assuming that she would make a profit of 78, but she should see each necklace for $12.5 so that she could make a profit of $78.
Hope this helps you.

Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right angle so the sum of those would be equal to 90 degrees
x + 7 + 3x - 5 = 90 add like terms
4x + 2 = 90 subtract 2 from both sides
4x = 88 divide both sides by 4
x = 22
