Problem Analysis

We are given that students from the fifth grade went on a trip in two buses. When 8 students from one bus transferred to the other bus, the number of students became equal in both buses. We need to determine the initial number of students in the second bus.

Solution

Let's assume that the initial number of students in the first bus was x. Since 8 students transferred from the first bus to the second bus, the number of students in the first bus decreased to x - 8.

We are also given that the number of students became equal in both buses after the transfer. Therefore, the number of students in the second bus increased by 8 and became x + 8.

To find the initial number of students in the second bus, we need to solve the equation:

x - 8 = x + 8

Simplifying the equation:

-8 = 8

This equation has no solution. Therefore, there is no valid answer to the question as stated.

Conclusion

Based on the given information, there is no valid answer to the question. The equation x - 8 = x + 8 has no solution.
