Let's set up the equation to find out how many boxes Trina sold.
Let \( n \) represent the number of boxes Trina sold. According to the problem:
1. Yuri sold 14 boxes.
2. Together, they sold a total of 37 boxes.
The equation that represents the situation is:
\[ 14 + n = 37 \]
To find \( n \) (the number of boxes Trina sold), subtract 14 from both sides:
\[ n = 37 - 14 \]
\[ n = 23 \]
Thus, Trina sold **23 boxes**.
The correct equation from the options listed is:
**\( n + 14 = 37 \); Trina sold 23 boxes.**
