    Answer:Janet had originally 4 colored pencils.

    Explanation: 4x + 2 = 6 I think that's the equation but I know 4 is right because 6 minus the 2 he gave Janet equals the starting amount.

    4 because

    X = (6-2) : 2 = 4:2 = 2 color pencils for Janet and 2 color pencils for Talia = originally 4 pencils
