    30 students

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can set up both buses in an equation.

    Bus company A would be:

    y=5x+35

    and Bus company B would be:

    y=3x+95

    We're looking to break even, so, they'll have to equal each other.

    5x+35=3x+95

    We'll remove 3x from both sides.

    2x+35=95

    Then we'll remove 35 from both sides.

    2x=60

    We'll divide both sides of the equation by 2.

    x=30

    At 30 students, both buses would cost the same.
