Responses

n + 14 = 37
; Trina sold 23 boxes.
n plus 14 equals 37 ; 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 + 37 = 14
; Trina sold 23 boxes.

Answer 1

To find the equation that represents the number of boxes Trina sold, we know the total number of boxes sold by both Yuri and Trina is 37. Since Yuri sold 14 boxes, we can set up the equation:

\[ n + 14 = 37 \]

Where \( n \) represents the number of boxes Trina sold.

Now, to find the value of \( n \), we can solve the equation:

1. Subtract 14 from both sides: \[ n = 37 - 14 \]

2. Calculate: \[ n = 23 \]

So, the correct equation is \( n + 14 = 37 \), and Trina sold 23 boxes.

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