On test day, a teacher sharpens 19 pencils to lend out to his students. If n represents the number of pencils that the teacher lends out, which expression represents the number of pencils he has left?

A) 19 - n
B) 19 + n
C) n-19
D) 19n

*Please help!*
For the first one, substitute the numbers for the letters.

He has 19 pencils. He takes n away.

What do you think?
19 - n?
Correct.
