What does 2 + 2 make?

Then 2+2 can also be 3

Proof: 1.7+1.7=3.4
1.7≈2
3.4≈3
Therefore, 2+2=3

Yep it can be both

And also,

1.9+1.9=3.8
1.9≈2
3.8≈4
Therefore, 2+2=4

And also, 1.9+1.9=3.8 1.9≈2 3.8≈4 Therefore, 2+2=4

wrong because in that instance you are just making the real answer of 2+2 more difficultand who wants math to be difficult

Then 2+2=5 is also wrong because you can not just treat an approximate value and a precise one same -- It should be "roughly equal" so 2+2 can roughly be in (3, 5).

actually that makes sense you have convinced me

I saw a video, some teacher tried explaining to a kid that 2+2 is 4 not 22 and the school fired her for it. So they gave her her 2,000 pay + her 2,000 pay and she demanded 22,000

everyone here is wrong the answer is obviously 174.64, because 1+1=87.32
