Answer:

8 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

We can reverse everything that is happening in the problem like this!...

Jeremiah has 20 - 4 pencils = 16 than 2 reverse operation of multiplication which will be division then 16 ÷ 2 = 8

Check work? 8 more than 2 times equals 16 + 4 more that Jeremiah has equals 20 pencils
