boxes. Together, they sold a total of 37 boxes. Which equation represents the number of boxes Trina sold? How many boxes did she sell?(1 point)
Responses

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.
n minus 14 equals 37 ; Trina sold 51 boxes.

n + 14 = 37
; Trina sold 23 boxes.

Answer 1

To find the equation that represents the number of boxes Trina sold, we need to express the total number of boxes sold in terms of the boxes sold by Yuri and Trina.

Given that:

• Yuri sold 14 boxes
• Trina sold \( n \) boxes
• Together, they sold a total of 37 boxes

The equation can be set up as follows:

\[ 14 + n = 37 \]

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

\[ n = 37 - 14 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ n = 23 \]

So the correct equation representing the number of boxes Trina sold is:

\[ n + 14 = 37 \]

and Trina sold 23 boxes.

Thus, the response is:

n + 14 = 37; Trina sold 23 boxes.
