take any number x, and add it to itself to get x+x = 2x ------------------------------------------------------- for example 5+5 = 2*5 or 8+8 = 2*8 you can do this for any number
if you multiply x with itself, then x times x = x^2 just by definition of what "squared" means ------------------------------------------------------- Example: 8 times 8 = 8^2
so the answer would be true?
\[ x\cdot x=2x\\ xx-2x = 0\\ x(x-2)=0 \]If either factor is \(0\), then the whole product is zero and the equation holds. So we end up with two equations:\[ x=0\\ x-2=0 \]
The answer is that sometimes they are equal, but they are not always equal.
