Krista and Alexa played balloon darts in a school fair. Krista popped 5 balloons and Alexa popped n balloons. Together, they popped a total of 13 balloons, Which equation can be used to determine the number of balloons Alexa popped? How many balloons did she pop?
The equation that can be used to determine the number of balloons Alexa popped is 5 + n = 13.
To find out how many balloons Alexa popped, we can subtract 5 from both sides of the equation: n = 13 - 5 = <<13-5=8>>8.
Alexa popped 8 balloons. Answer: \boxed{8}.
Let's suppose the number of balloons Alexa popped is represented by the variable "n". According to the problem, Krista popped 5 balloons and together they popped a total of 13 balloons. We can represent this situation with the equation:
5 + n = 13
To find the value of "n", we can solve the equation:
n = 13 - 5
n = 8
Therefore, Alexa popped 8 balloons.
To determine the number of balloons Alexa popped, we can set up an equation based on the given information. Let's define the number of balloons Krista popped as "5" and the number of balloons Alexa popped as "n".
According to the problem, together they popped a total of 13 balloons. So, we can write the equation as:
5 + n = 13
To find the value of "n" (the number of balloons Alexa popped), we need to solve this equation.
To isolate "n" on one side of the equation, we can subtract "5" from both sides:
n = 13 - 5
Simplifying the right side:
n = 8
Therefore, Alexa popped 8 balloons.
