Let's assume that Chloe has "c" cats and her sister has "d" dogs. We are also given that Chloe's brother has two turtles.

The first piece of information tells us that Chloe has twice as many cats as her sister has dogs. Therefore, we can write the equation:

c = 2d

We are also given that together they have twelve pets. This can be represented by the equation:

c + d + 2 = 12

Combining these two equations, we have the system of equations:

c = 2d
c + d + 2 = 12
