why 1+1 is not equal to 3?

Question

if u want to add 2 SNARLs to eachother.when u add them it will be 3 snarls

Answer 1

Our society uses base 10; thus, 1 + 1 = 2. Try converting your 1 + 1 mathematical sentence to another base and see if you can find one that will equal 3~here are the directions to convert bases~

Answer 2

Well, 2 is defined as the successor of 1, ie 1+1. Suppose by contradiction that 2=3. Then 2-2=3-2 which implies 2-2=(1+2)-2 by the definition of 3. 2-2=1+(2-2) by the associative axiom of addition. 0=1+0 by the definion of the additive inverse. This now implies that 0=1. By the non-triviality axiom that the multiplicative identity is not equal to the additive identity, a contradiction is obtained. Therefore 1+1 is not 3.

Answer 3

1 + 1 = 2 live with it

Answer 4

Becouse 1 + 1 = 2, and not 3. Deal with the fact bro.
thease are what = 3:

1 + 2 = 3
6 [divided by] 2 = 3
and probily more...

Answer 5

its a government coverup. imagine if the truth did come out and 1+1 did equal 3. do you know what kind of catastrophe we would have on our hands? The millenium clock problem would be nothing compared to this.

Answer 6

In theory it is.I assume you are referring to whole numbers.one 2 and one 1 are equal to 3.Two is actually one number and 1 is actually one number.The total is 3

Answer 7

Because the third 1 got disgusted with the other two and moved out! hehehe

Answer 8

1+1=3 if 1 is really 1.4 and you are rounding to the nearest whole number.
1.4+1.4=2.8 which rounds to 3

Answer 9

same reason 1x1 =1 and 1x2=2 it's just the way our number system works

Answer 10

and what's a snarl anyway (consider me ignorant ...)
