Let's represent the number of boxes Trina sold as "x".
The total number of boxes they sold is the sum of the number of boxes Yuri sold and the number of boxes Trina sold, so the equation is:
14 + x = 37
To find the value of x, we can subtract 14 from both sides of the equation:
x = 37 - 14
Simplifying the right side gives us:
x = 23
Therefore, Trina sold 23 boxes.
