The president of the science club brought 134 juice boxes to take on a field trip.

Each person on the trip received 3 juice boxes and there were 20 extra juice boxes.

we have been asked to find how many people went on the field trip?

Let there were x people on the trip then we can write

$134=3x+20\\ \\ 3x=134-20\\ \\ 3x=114\\ \\ x=38$

Hence 38 people went on the field trip.
