Responses

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

n + 37 = 14
; Trina sold 23 boxes.
n plus 37 equals 14 ; 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 51 boxes.

Answer 1

To find the number of boxes Trina sold, we can start with the information we have:

Yuri sold 14 boxes, and together they sold a total of 37 boxes. We can set up the equation based on this information:

\[ n + 14 = 37 \]

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

1. Subtract 14 from both sides:

\[ n = 37 - 14 \]

2. Calculate:

\[ n = 23 \]

Therefore, Trina sold 23 boxes.

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

n + 14 = 37; Trina sold 23 boxes.
