This is more that meets the eye. The best way to approach this question is to write out the equation:
2 + 2 = x
Now this looks awfully similar to another equation:
x^2 + y^2 = z^2 (Hypotenuse theory)
We need to convert it to the same form to be able to slove this complex equation:
2^2 + 2^2 = x^2
4 + 4 = x^2
4 = x^2 - 4
0 = x^2 - 4 - 4
-x^2 = -8
Now we have a problem, the square of any number cannot be negative, as in the equation therefore we introduce imaginary numbers (i), where i^2 = -1 or i = sqrt(-1):
-(i)x^2 = -(i)8
Now we can simplify:
-sqrt(-1)x^2 = -sqrt(-1)(8)
Move the negatives into one side and into the sqrt:
sqrt(-1)x^2 = (-^2)sqrt(-1)(8)
sqrt(-1)x^2 = sqrt(1)(8)
sqrt(-1)x^2 = 8
x^2 = 8/sqrt(-1)
x^2 = 8/i
x = sqrt(8/i)
So there is your answer, 2+2=sqrt(8/i), where i=sqrt(-1)

2+2=4. a well known fact, as well as basic arithmetic...

Answer is 1 and it's called Maths. It seems simple but actually it's complicated!

Ah, this depends on your set of axioms. As you haven't defined which axiom set you are using it is impossible to answer this question!
