1 answer

To find the equation that represents the number of boxes Trina sold, we can start with the information given:

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

We can set up the equation based on the total:

\[ n + 14 = 37 \]

This equation correctly represents the situation. Now, to find the number of boxes Trina sold (n), we can solve for n as follows:

  1. Subtract 14 from both sides:

\[ n = 37 - 14 \]

  1. Calculate:

\[ n = 23 \]

So, Trina sold 23 boxes.

Thus, the correct answer and equation from the provided options is:

n + 14 = 37 ; Trina sold 23 boxes.
