    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) = 18 pieces.

    So first 4 times 4 is 16 and then add 2 to get 18
