Use the visible property.

text1.visible = false

...will hide the box

text1.visible = true

...will show it again.

Rather than use three text boxes, try using one box and declare two numeric variables instead.

Set the variable to the values in the text boxes.
Then, add them and show the answer.

That way, you won't have to worry about showing or hiding boxes.
