Shanice won 97 pieces of gum playing basketball at the county fair. At school she gave four to every student in her math class. She only has 5 remaining. How many students are in her class?

Let the number of students be s. We have a situation described by the following equation:
4s + 5 = 97 <-- We add 5 since it's left over to get to 97

We type this equation into the search engine and we get:
s = 23
