How can adding doubles can help you to multiply by 2 give an example?

Mulitplying is really just a form of addition. Multiplying by 2 is the same as adding a number to itself (or adding doubles). For example: 4X2 is the same as 4 + 4 = 8 The X2 part of the multiplication problem means that you are adding doubles or 4 to itself. So any problem with X2 would be the same as adding doubles: 5X2 = 5 + 5 = 10 6X2 = 6 + 6 = 12 7X2 = 7 + 7 = 14 ...and so on. So if you can add doubles you already know how to multiply any number by 2.

You have to add the exponents. It's best if you just remember it. You can also consider what happens when you multiply something like:(2 x 2 x 2) x (2 x 2) As you can notice, the number of factors get added. That's like adding the exponents.
