    There had to be at least 14 on from the start.

    Lets say x = the number from the start.

    x - 14 + 9 - 5 = after 2:30

    Compare like terms.

    14+9 = 23. 23 - 5 = 18.

    Lets say there was 15 people on the bus from the start ...

    15-14+9-5 = 5

    We went from 15 to 5.

    Q: How does the number of people on the bus after the second stop compare to the number of people on the bus before the 2:30 stop?

    A: - 10 people (10 people less)
