Responses

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

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

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

n − 37 = 14
; Trina sold 51 boxes.

Answer 1

To find out how many boxes Trina sold, we start with the information given:

Yuri sold 14 boxes and together they sold a total of 37 boxes. Therefore, we can set up the equation:

\[ n + 14 = 37 \]

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

Now, we can solve for \( n \):

\[ n + 14 = 37 \] Subtract 14 from both sides: \[ n = 37 - 14 \] \[ n = 23 \]

So, Trina sold 23 boxes.

The correct response is:

• \( n + 14 = 37 \); Trina sold 23 boxes.
