How do you know if 2x be equal

Michele, I think your question is about the fundamental rule of arithmetic:
4 = 4
1 + 3 = 4
2 + 2 = 4
Since I am aware you know this rule, you must have overlooked these while being busy with exponent rules.
What we can do is simplify (2x)^2 into 4x^2 that make the sum;
2x^2 + 4x^2 =
Now we can add the coefficients cause we have like exponents and we'll get 6x^2, thus...
2x^2 + 4x^2 = 6x^2
2x^2 + (2x)^2 = 6x^2
Just as equal as 2 + 4 = 6 :)

Please disregard my comment..multiple choice E is correct. I was looking at answer D when I was writing the comment.
