Answer 2

Answer:

Khloe's number is:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Carl's number be x.

Khloe is thinking of a number that is 2 times the value of Carl's number.

⇒ Khloe's number=2x

Khloe's number is also 2 more than 4 times the value of Carl's number.

⇒ Khloe's number=4x+2

⇒ 2x=4x+2

⇒ 2x= -2

⇒ x= -1

So, Khloe's number=2×(-1)

                               = -2

Hence, Khloe's number is:

-2
