<h3>Answer:  62</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

18 people get off, and 21 get on

We can write the 18 as -18 to indicate a loss of 18 people. The 21 as +21 to mean we gained 21 people.

The net change is -18+21 = +3 or simply 3.

After the first stop, 3 more people are on the train compared to before reaching this stop.

If x is the number of people before the stop, then x+3 is the number of people after the stop. Set this equal to 65 and solve for x.

x+3 = 65

x = 65-3

x = 62 people were on the train to begin with.

-----------

Check:

62 people to start off

62-18 = 44 people after the 18 people get off

44+21 = 65 people after the 21 new people get on

The answer is confirmed.
