Which equation can be used to determine the number of balloons Alexa popped? How many balloons did she pop?(1 point) Responses n − 5 = 13; Alexa popped 18 balloons. n minus 5 equals 13 ; Alexa popped 18 balloons. n + 5 = 13; Alexa popped 8 balloons. n plus 5 equals 13 ; Alexa popped 8 balloons. n − 13 = 5; Alexa popped 18 balloons. n minus 13 equals 5 ; Alexa popped 18 balloons. n + 13 = 5; Alexa popped 8 balloons.
The equation that can be used to determine the number of balloons Alexa popped is n + 5 = 13. In this case, n would equal 8, therefore Alexa popped 8 balloons.
