Let Lynette has originally candies in hand = x

She gave half to her son means x/2 given to son.

2 candies gave to daughter and left with 4.

x - x/2 - 2 = 4

adding 2 both sides

x - x/2 - 2 + 2 = 4 + 2

x - x/2 = 6

x /2 = 6

x = 12

Means she have 12 candies originally : Answer

Hope it will help :)
