Karen received 2 valentines today. "Wow!" said Karen.

"Now I have five times as many as I would have had if I
gave away 2 valentines!" How many valentines did Karen
have before she received the 2 valentines today?

8 valentines because if she gave away 2 and it was five times more then you do 5x2 which is 10 and 10-2 that she received today so it is 8
