Given:

The number of stamps in Kelly's stamp collection is 10 less than half the number of stamps in Marks collection.

Let m represent the number of stamps in marks collection.

Now, to write an expression show the number of stamps in Kelly's collection.

Let $m$ represent the number of stamps in Marks collection.

And the number of stamps collection of Kellys be $\frac{m}{2} -10$

Now, to write an expression:
