You work it backwards.
-- If there were 4 children and each child got 4 pieces,
then the children got (4 x 4) = 16 pieces altogether.
-- That's what was left after he took 2 pieces for himself.
So he started with (16 + 2) = <em>18 pieces</em>.

Answer:
B = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 + 4xy − 48y^2
Factor out 2
2(x^2 + 2xy − 24y^2)
What 2 numbers multiply to -24 and add to 2
-4 *6 = -24
-4+6 = 2
2 ( x+6y)( x-4y)
