To determine the number of balloons Alexa popped, we know that Krista popped 5 balloons and together they popped a total of 13 balloons. We can set up the equation as follows:
\[ n + 5 = 13 \]
Where \( n \) represents the number of balloons Alexa popped.
Now, we can solve for \( n \):
\[ n + 5 = 13 \ n = 13 - 5 \ n = 8 \]
So, the correct response is:
Response: n + 5 = 13; Alexa popped 8 balloons.
