To solve the expression \( 2 + 2 \cdot 2 \), you should follow the order of operations (often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS/BODMAS, which stands for Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).
First, perform the multiplication: \[ 2 \cdot 2 = 4 \]
Then, perform the addition: \[ 2 + 4 = 6 \]
Therefore, \( 2 + 2 \cdot 2 = 6 \).
