To solve the expression \(2 + 2(7 - 7)\), follow the order of operations (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, and addition and subtraction from left to right).
First, solve the expression in the parentheses: \[ 7 - 7 = 0 \]
Now, substitute that back into the expression: \[ 2 + 2(0) \]
Next, perform the multiplication: \[ 2(0) = 0 \]
Finally, add: \[ 2 + 0 = 2 \]
So, \(2 + 2(7 - 7) = 2\).
