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

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 51 boxes.

Answer 1

To find the number of boxes Trina sold, we can set up the equation based on the information given.

Yuri sold 14 boxes, and together they sold a total of 37 boxes. Therefore, the equation should represent the total number of boxes sold, combining both Yuri's and Trina's sales:

\[ n + 14 = 37 \]

This means that Trina sold \( n \) boxes.

Now, to solve for \( n \):

1. Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation: \[ n = 37 - 14 \]
2. This simplifies to: \[ n = 23 \]

Thus, Trina sold 23 boxes.

The correct response from your options is: n + 14 = 37; Trina sold 23 boxes.
