In an algebraic expression, like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same powers. Calculating x-squared plus x-squared is a matter of combining like terms. 

Now x^2 + x^2 = 2x^2

Hence, x-squared plus x-squared is equal to 2 times x squared.

We know that a negative value plus a positive value always count backward and the sign depends on the bigger value sign.

When you are adding a negative number to a positive number, then the value counts backward and takes the sign of the biggest number.

For example::

Adding -5 and +2

-5 + 2 = -3 (big number is 5 and its sign is '-')

Adding -3 and  +5

+5 + (-3) = 5 - 3 = +2(big number is 5 and it has sign '+').
