Krista and Alexa play balloon darts in his school fair Krista park five balloons and Alexa popped in balloons together. They popped a total of 13 balloons which equation can be used to determine the number of balloons Alexa popped. How many balloons did she pop? Would it be in -13 equals five and -5 equals 13+5 equals 13+13 = 5

Answer 1

The correct equation to determine the number of balloons Alexa popped is:

5 + x = 13

Where x represents the number of balloons Alexa popped.

To solve for x, subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
x = 13 - 5

x = 8

Therefore, Alexa popped a total of 8 balloons.
