Savannah bought a box of nails for two projects. She uses 18 nails for the first project. For the second project, she uses 10 more than half the number of nails left in the box. Let n represent the original number of nails that come in a box. Which expression represents the number of nails Savannah uses for the second project?

n − 18/2 +10

1/2 n−18+10

n − 18 + 10/2

1/2 (n+18)+10

Answer 1

if n is the total number of nails to start with, after the first project there will be

( n - 18) nails left to work with

10 more than 1/2 of the remaining nails...

Answer 3
