Responses

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

Answer 1

To find the equation that represents 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 number of boxes Trina sold (n) can be found with the following equation:

\( n + 14 = 37 \)

This equation states that the number of boxes Trina sold plus the number of boxes Yuri sold equals the total number of boxes sold.

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

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

So, Trina sold 23 boxes.

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