generally, x • x is accepted to mean "x times x" or "x multiplied by x"
and x+x means "x plus x" or "x added to x"
let's try by subsituting numbers for them
if we can find one case where the statement "x+x is the same as x•x" is false, then it is not true
let's try x=4
x+x=x•x
4+4=4•4
8=16
false
so it is not true
(x+x is equal to 2x, so therefor if we were to solve 2x=x•x, we would get that it is only true for x=2 and x=0)
it is not always true

It depends on the number. Generally, it is false, expect in a few certain cases, such as 2 for example, as:
2 + 2 = 4
2 x 2 = 4
however, most other numbers do not work, such as, for example, 5
5 + 5 = 10
5 x 5 = 25
So it really depends on what "x" is.
hope this helps
