n − 5 = 13; Alexa popped 18 balloons.
n minus 5 equals 13 ; Alexa popped 18 balloons.

n − 13 = 5; Alexa popped 18 balloons.
n minus 13 equals 5 ; Alexa popped 18 balloons.

n + 13 = 5; Alexa popped 8 balloons.
n plus 13 equals 5 ; Alexa popped 8 balloons.

n + 5 = 13; Alexa popped 8 balloons.

Answer 1

The correct equation that can be used to determine the number of balloons Alexa popped is: n + 5 = 13. Using this equation, we can solve for n by subtracting 5 from both sides: n = 13 - 5 = 8. Therefore, Alexa popped 8 balloons.
