n − 37 = 14 Trina sold 51 boxes.

n + 14 = 37 Trina sold 23 boxes.

n − 14 = 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 start with the information given:

• Yuri sold 14 boxes.
• Together, they sold a total of 37 boxes.

The equation that represents this situation is:

\[ n + 14 = 37 \]

To find the number of boxes Trina sold (n), we can solve this equation:

1. Subtract 14 from both sides: \[ n = 37 - 14 \]
2. Calculate the right side: \[ n = 23 \]

So Trina sold 23 boxes.

The correct response is:

n + 14 = 37 Trina sold 23 boxes.
