Problem: The girls on a softball team are sharing a bag of fresh strawberries. If every girl had 5 whole strawberries, there are 3 left over. If, instead, the girls decide to share the strawberries evenly among themselves and their four coaches, and everyone takes 4 whole strawberries each, there are none left over. How many girls are on the softball team?

Key: Find the equality, the value that stays constant throughout the problem.
