Krista and Alexa played balloon darts in his school fair. Krista popped five balloons and Alexa popped n balloons together. They popped the total of 13 balloons which equation can be used to determine the number of balloons Alexa popped. How many balloons did she pop? Is it in -13 equals five and Alexa popped 18 balloons or is it in -5 equals 13 Alexa popped 18 balloons or is it in +5 equals 13 and Alexa popped eight balloons or is it in +13 equals five and Alexa popped eight balloons
The equation that can be used to determine the number of balloons Alexa popped is:
5 + n = 13
To find the value of n (the number of balloons Alexa popped), we need to solve this equation.
By subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation, we get:
n = 13 - 5
Simplifying, we find:
n = 8
Therefore, Alexa popped 8 balloons.
