Answer:

8

Explanation:

14-(2+4)= 8

Its fairly simple but if you don't pay attention and don't add it up correctly you will have problems in your answer. (Hope you found this helpful!)

Hey!

All we have to do is subtract however many pencils the others have.

So, lets do James first.

14-2=12

Now we subtract Ann's.

12-4=8

So, Frank has 8 Pencils.

Hope this helps!
