#52# students were in each bus.

First, you start with the equation:

#9x + 4 = 472#

Since four students rode in cars, you want to eliminate this part of the problem to find how many students actually rode in the buses

So you would subtract #4# from both sides and get:

#9x = 468#

Finally, you would divide both sides by #9# and get #52# students on each bus
