3+3 and 3×3 isnt the same, and the same thing with all other numbers. i don’t understand how 2+2 and 2×2 both equal 4
In: Mathematics
Because 2+2 and 2×2 both happen to mean the same thing: you have two groups of two.
3+3 and 3×3 aren’t the same thing because the first is two groups of three and the second is three groups of three.
2 isn’t the only number this works for, either.
It works for 0 (0 + 0 = 0x0. Two groups of nothing is the same as having no groups of nothing; it’s still nothing).
