Answer:

x = 22 (each friend started with 22 action figures)

Explanation:

After buying 8 more action figures, each friend has x + 8 action figures. Because there are 5 friends, the new total number of action figures is 5(x + 8), which we are told is equal to 150. Dividing both sides of this equation by 5 yields x + 8 = 30, and subtracting 8 from both sides yields x = 22.
