There were 24 people on the bus. At the bus stop 9 people got off the bus. How many people are on the bus now? Show 2 different ways to solve this problem

I did 18-12 = 6

But I can't figure out another way to solve the problem

Where did you get those numbers?

24 - 9 = x
x + 9 = 24

To find the number of people on the bus after 9 people got off, we can use arithmetic subtraction.

Method 1: Subtraction
1. Start with the initial number of people on the bus: 24
2. Subtract the number of people who got off: 24 - 9 = 15
3. So, there are 15 people still on the bus.

Method 2: Addition-Subtraction
1. Start with the initial number of people on the bus: 24
2. Add 0 to the number of people who got off: 9 + 0 = 9
3. Subtract the sum from the initial number of people on the bus: 24 - 9 = 15
4. Again, there are 15 people still on the bus.

Both methods yield the same result, which is that there are 15 people remaining on the bus after 9 people got off.
