Why is 2+2 ? :o?

Question

Why is 2+2 4?

Answer 1

There really is a logic behind it.  It goes back to Peano's axioms.  See the link.

Answer 2

if you have two apples in one basket and 2 apples in another basket and you put the apples from both baskets into the same basket there will be four apples in the new basket thats why 2+2=4

Answer 3

Because its the law of math.

Answer 4

I thought that it equaled "5".

Answer 5

man girl! i've been pondering on the same question too ever since i learned how to add...to be honest i have absolutely no idea why...it's probably because they go together and they are not apples and oranges...two different things being added something like that.

Answer 6

Because its the law of adding, add 2 to 2 and then the result will be the second figure after 2
