let x be the number of students

that means x number of students walk

5x take the bus (5 times the number of students)

24 is the total number of students    so:

x + 5x = 24  (the number of walkers + the number of bus riders equal 24)

6x =24  then divide both sides by 6 so x is left alone.

x=4, so 5x (5 times x equals 20) Walkers =5  Riders =20  Total=24
