Answer 1

try this in your controller
public function edit($id)
{
$contacts = Contacts::findOrFail($id);
Return to view ('contacts. edits', compact ('contacts'));
}

Answer 2

your view expects the model to be called $contacts, so change your edit() method in the controller to be the following:
public function edit($id)
{
$contact = Contacts::findOrFail($id);
return view('contacts.edit', ['contacts' => $contact]);
}
