Here are some facts that can help you think about the problem:

==> 3 cats plus 1 cat = 4 cats

==> 3 school-buses plus 1 school-bus = 4 school-buses

==> 3 ham Sandwiches plus 1 ham sandwich = 4 ham sandwiches

==> 3 calling birds plus 1 calling bird = 4 calling birds

If you think about those other situations long enough to pick up the pattern,

you'll soon realize that

What does 3x plus x equal?

3x+x=4x. The 3x is just an easier way of stating x+x+x, and then you would just count the x's up like normal to create a total. You can also do this with larger numbers. For example, if you have 100x+500x, you would still add the numbers together to create a total of 600x. As long as the variables (x, in this case) are the same in the numbers you're adding (i.e., you can't add 3x+y together) you can just add the numbers to create your total.
