Yuri and Trina sold boxes of cookies. Yuri sold 14 boxes, while Trina sold n boxes. Together, they sold a total of 37 boxes. Which equation represents the number of boxes Trina sold? How many boxes did she sell?
Options:
n - 37 = 14; Trina sold 51 boxes
n + 14 = 37; Trina sold 23 boxes
n - 14 = 37; trina sold 51 boxes
n + 37 = 14; Trina sold 23 boxes
The correct equation to represent the number of boxes Trina sold is n + 14 = 37.
To find out how many boxes Trina sold, we can solve the equation:
n + 14 = 37
Subtracting 14 from both sides of the equation, we get:
n = 37 - 14
n = 23
Therefore, Trina sold 23 boxes.
So, the correct option is:
n + 14 = 37; Trina sold 23 boxes.
