The equation that can be used to determine the number of balloons Alexa popped is:
5 + n = 13
where n represents the number of balloons Alexa popped.
To find the number of balloons Alexa popped, we need to solve for n.
Subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation, we have:
n = 13 - 5
n = 8
Therefore, Alexa popped 8 balloons.
Krista and Alexa played balloon darts in a school fair. Krista popped 5 balloons and Alexa popped n 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? in addition

did you mean x + 5 = 13
Apologies for the confusion. Since we are trying to determine the number of balloons Alexa popped, let's use a different variable. Let's say Alexa popped x balloons.
The correct equation to use would be:
x + 5 = 13
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 5 from both sides:
x = 13 - 5
x = 8
Therefore, Alexa popped 8 balloons.
