Question

identify the parts which make up the following equation:
$2x + 2x = \underline{\quad\quad}$

| |
|-------|
| $2x$ |
| $2x$ |

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms

We have the expression \(2x + 2x\). Since both terms have the same variable \(x\) with the same exponent (which is 1, though not written), we can combine their coefficients. The coefficient of the first \(2x\) is 2, and the coefficient of the second \(2x\) is also 2. So we add the coefficients: \(2 + 2 = 4\), and then multiply by \(x\). So \(2x+2x = 4x\).

Answer:

\(4x\)
