Question

Question Yuri and Trina sold boxes of cookies. Yuri sold 14 boxes, while Trina sold n boxes. Together, they sold a total of 37 boxes. Which equation represents the number of boxes Trina sold? How many boxes did she sell?(1 point) Responses n + 14 = 37 ; Trina sold 23 boxes. n plus 14 equals 37 ; Trina sold 23 boxes. n − 37 = 14 ; Trina sold 51 boxes. n minus 37 equals 14 ; Trina sold 51 boxes. n − 14 = 37 ; Trina sold 51 boxes. n minus 14 equals 37 ; Trina sold 51 boxes. n + 37 = 14 ; Trina sold 23 boxes.

Answer 1

To solve for the number of boxes Trina sold, we can set up the equation based on the information given. We know that:

- Yuri sold 14 boxes.
- Trina sold \( n \) boxes.
- Together, they sold a total of 37 boxes.

The equation representing the situation is:

\[ n + 14 = 37 \]

To find \( n \), we can subtract 14 from both sides:

\[ n = 37 - 14 \]
\[ n = 23 \]

Thus, Trina sold 23 boxes.

The correct response is:
**n + 14 = 37; Trina sold 23 boxes.**
