Let’s check out your problem:

Ariana is a citizen scientist for a monarch butterfly project. Every week, she visits a local patch of milkweed and counts the number of monarch larvae on the plants. Last week, Ariana didn't count many larvae. This week, she counts $19$ larvae on the milkweed. For both weeks, Ariana's total count is $26$ larvae.$\newline$Which equation can you use to find the number of larvae $n$ Ariana counted last week?$\newline$Choices:$\newline$$(A)$ $\frac{n}{19} = 26$$\newline$$(B)$ $n + 19 = 26$$\newline$$(C)$ $n - 19 = 26$$\newline$$(D)$ $26$$0$$\newline$Solve this equation for $n$ to find the number of larvae Ariana counted last week.$\newline$$26$$2$ larvae$\newline$
