Answer 1

To determine the equation that represents the number of boxes Trina sold, we start by examining the information given:

• Yuri sold 14 boxes.
• Together, they sold a total of 37 boxes.
• Let \( n \) represent the number of boxes that Trina sold.

The equation that represents this scenario can be formulated as:

\[ 14 + n = 37 \]

To isolate \( n \), we can subtract 14 from both sides of the equation:

\[ n = 37 - 14 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ n = 23 \]

Therefore, Trina sold 23 boxes. The correct equation from the options provided is:

\[ n + 14 = 37 \] and the answer is that Trina sold 23 boxes.
