Final answer:
The value of 2 + 2 is simply 4. The options provided in the question and the additional equation do not have any relevance to this straightforward arithmetic problem, suggesting there might be a typographical error or missing context in the question.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked to find the value of 2 + 2 given that If (-2) = 152 and xy = 16. This appears to be a simple arithmetic question, possibly with a typo or misunderstanding embedded in it. As presented, the phrase 'If (-2) = 152' does not have a clear mathematical meaning and may have been a typographical error. Assuming the goal is to practice basic arithmetic, the calculation of 2 + 2 is straightforward. The sum of 2 + 2 is 4, which does not match any of the options (a) 150, (b) 154, (c) 156, (d) 158 given in the question. Therefore, if this is solely an arithmetic problem, there seems to be a mistake in the question or the provided options. However, if there is additional information or context that has not been provided which would change the calculation, the student would need to provide that context for an accurate determination of the answer.
