I just don't get it

I just don't get it | THIS IS GOING TO SOUND STUPID BUT; HOW DOES 2+2=4 AND AT THE SAME TIME 2X2= 4 BECAUSE LAST TIME I CHECKED 2+2 IS 2+2 ONE TIME BUT MULTIPLICATION SHOULD MULTIPLY IT, SO 2X2 SHOULD BE WRITTEN OUT AS 2+2+2+2 WHICH WOULD = 8 BUT FOR SOME REASON = 4 SO HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?? | image tagged in memes,third world skeptical kid | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Multiplication is you having more of an amount of something, the (2) represents that there is TWO, the (×) represents doing the operation, and the other (2) represents how much of the thing you have is being exemplifed, so you have 2 amounts of 2, and 2 + 2 is 4, not 8.

but if its multiplied by 2, shouldn't it be the equation twice? not once?

no????? the × symbol separates the equation, so you only multiply and apply the effect of the symbol to the thing directly on the right. why are you thinking that it multiplies the entire equation

well I guess that's the simple way to do It, compared to the comment above

no. if 3x3 is 9, it is 3+3+3. (3+3 would equal 6). 2x2 (two twice) is 2+2, therefore, it's 4.

like I said, much simpler than what the guy above said
