[math]x + x = x \cdot x \\
2x = x^2 \\
x^2 - 2x = 0 \\
x (x - 2) = 0[/math]

Therefore the only solutions are [math]x = 0[/math] and [math]x = 2[/math].

No, its not a coincidence that two twos is the same thing as two twos, its the law of identity, I don't know how "deep" you believe that law of logic to be, but its one of (if not) the most fundamental rules of logic there is.

Yes the numbers for which "multiplying it X times is equal to adding it X times" are the (X-1)th roots of X and 2 is the only number where you get a (2-1)=1th root and therefore an integer.

Except 1 because 1 times nothing = 1 plus nothing but Big Multiplication won't tell you that

>is there a deeper meaning to this?

Multiplication is just shorthand for addition.
3 x 5 = 15
is shorthand for
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15

so
2 x 2 = 4
is shorthand for
2 + 2 = 4

there is no deeper meaning

You say tuh·may·tow I say tuh·ma·tow, same thing tomato

Aha, I've already got an answer for that!

X+X=X*X
2X = X^2
X=2

X+X+X=X*X*X
3X = X^3
X=3^(1/2)
Or the square root of 3.

X+X+X+X=X*X*X*X
4X = X^4
X=4^(1/3)
Or the cube root of 4.

X+X+X+X+X=X*X*X*X*X
5X = X^5
X=5^(1/4)

Seeing the pattern?
N*X=X^N
X=N^(1/(N-1))
>>
>>16536400

3*5 = 5 + 5 + 5
5*3 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3

2*y = y + y

Here is something else you do not know.
MOST stars in the universe are red dwarfs.
You can not see any red dwarfs with your eyes at night.
NO red dwarf has 'died' of old age since the universe began.
Basically if red dwarfs were humans they would all be pre-school toddlers.

>Both are equal to 2^2

Again exponentiation is just shorthand for multiple multiplication
10^5 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 100,000

so
2^2 = 4
is short hand for
2 x 2 = 4
is short hand for
2 + 2 = 4

there is no deeper meaning

Aha, but is there SUB-EXPONENTIATION?

^ Powers
* Multiplication
+ Addition

Upwards beyond exponents, there is tetration.
3^3^3
There should be something above tetration.

What is below addition as a function?
Can it really be turtles all the way down or is there only the wall of addition/subtraction?

You are free to invent any new shorthand symbols if you want.

then what does 1.7x3.6 mean? you can't sum a number 3.6 times. this is what I mean when I say multiplication has a deeper meaning than that
>>
>>16537142

1.7×3.6 = 3×3×17÷5÷5
Thus division is also involved.

I believe, that trigonometry is beneath, or behind, number theory.
That trigonometry is the deeper, or underlying, thing.

>then what does 1.7x3.6 mean?

I do not get it?
Is the decimal point bothering you?
just move the decimal point over then restore it.
1.7 x 10 = 17
3.6 x 10 = 36
so our result will be 10 x 10 = 100 times bigger (move decimal 2 places to get correct answer)
17 x 36 = 612
612 / 100 = 6.12 (moved decimal 2 places to get correct answer)
therefore
1.7 x 3.6 = 6.12

Yet, you will happily say that 0!=1 simply because it's convention. Not because it makes any logical sense.
There's definitely a trend going on there that you dismissed away with one typo.

Here is an expansion of your list -

0-0 =0
0+0 =0
0/0 =0 (undefined)
0x0 =0
0^0 =0 (undefined), 1 often given as result
0! =0 (undefined), 1 often given as result
0root0 =0 (undefined), other results are given
7 same answers

1-1 =0
1+1 =2
1/1 =1
1x1 =1
1^1 =1
1! =1
1root1 =1

2-2 =0
2+2 =4
2/2 =1
2x2 =4
2^2 =4
2! =2
2root2 =1.414.. etc

So yeah, self-operations with the same answers decrease as the size of the natural number increases from 0 to 3.
From 4 and above no natural numbers display that property.

There is no simpler way to express the answer than 'exπ'
