Why is 0 plus 0 the same as 0 times 0 why?

Answer 1

Interesting question.

0 + 0 = 0 x 0, but why?

Let's take 1 +1 as an example. 1 + 1 = 2, because one of something plus one of something equal two of something.

So, if you have nothing and add it to nothing, you must have nothing. Therefore, 0 + 0 = 0.

Now, let's take 1 x 1. 1 x 1 = 1, because one of something one time is only that one something.

So, if you have nothing and multiply it zero times, you still have nothing. Therefore 0 x 0 = 0.

So, if you have the outcome of 0 in each equation, 0 + 0 must be the same as 0 x 0, because they will always equal 0.

Zero is Zero. No further explanation required.
