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