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 23 boxes. n plus 37 equals 14 ; 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.

Answer 1

To find the equation that represents the number of boxes Trina sold, we start with the information given:

Yuri sold 14 boxes, and Trina sold n boxes, with a total of 37 boxes sold by both of them.

The equation representing this situation is:

\[ n + 14 = 37 \]

Now, to find how many boxes Trina sold (n), we can solve the equation:

1. Subtract 14 from both sides:
\[ n = 37 - 14 \]
2. Calculate the right side:
\[ n = 23 \]

So, Trina sold 23 boxes.

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