As we know, 2+2 is the complication of what is known today as an addition.
Today, addition is known as finding the total, or sum, by combining two or more numbers.
Addition is one of the oldest and the most basic arithmetic operation. It is known to mathematicians for more than 6000 years. The ‘counting’ was considered as an early form of addition.
The first official evidence of addition is that it was used by Egyptians and Babylonians in 2000 BC. The symbols of addition and subtraction were invented around the 16th century, but before that, the equations were written in words, which makes it really time-consuming to solve the problems.
In equation 2+2, we see the numeric breakdown of 2: 1, and 1. So, our problem turns into 1+1+1+1. Now, let's do the first 1. Stick up 1 finger. There. Now let's do the next 1. Stick up another finger. You should now have up 2 fingers. now, let's do the next 1. Stick up another finger. And another. Now, we should have a total of 4 fingers up. And guess what? That's your answer.
