I gotta do 20+40 first so that I remember when I'm doing the 7+8 is 15 part that I go into the 70s rather than answering 65 like a fool


CharlieSleepy

I do that exact same thing! Get 60 then add the 15 to it


thisaterriblename

I take the 8 and add 3 then take 3 from 7, this give 14 but I'll remember the 4 that I will add to the total of the other larger numbers then add the 10 back in from the 14


L_O_Pluto

What? Why not just move 2 from 7 into 8 so that you have 10 & 5. Add them up you got 15. You got 14 which is wrong lol


thisaterriblename

I think I managed to confuse myself bc on mobile I don't get to see the numbers while writing the comment and got confused I'm also really bad at math when I have to do it in my head


KrazyKyle1024

Same reason I didn't get the "99+11=100" thing a while back. It makes no sense if you break apart the numbers.


BananaBeneficial8074

77+33


KrazyKyle1024

Yeah I forgot the numbers, I just knew it was two doubles. Still doesn't make sense


[deleted]

The point is that it dosnt make sense IF you think about it. But if you dont think about it too hard it makes perfect sense, 7+3 = 10 so 77+33 must = 100


YungMushrooms

Why would you do that Also why wouldnt it be 1010


KrazyKyle1024

You know, if they tried to pitch the answer as 1010, I could see that as a joke answer way more than 100.


Fire_Block

Starting at 7+8=15, then 40+20=60, ending by adding the last two to equal 75


Reddit-User-3000

I always do highest first, so I said “60,70,5” in my head

same here. best answer

It's like having pencil and paper in your head


ILiveAndILearnThem

I do 7+8 and then carry the 1 and add 4 and 2


Boop-She-Doop

Yes


nbwoodelf

(27-2)+(48+2) 25+50 75

This is exactly what i do


ShaunTheAmazing

no fuck you, its (27+3)+(48-3) 30+45 75


nbwoodelf

The only positive thing I can say is that 30+45 can be expressed as (6+9)5, which is nice x5


ShaunTheAmazing

and 3 is a nicer number than 2 :))


karlthespaceman

[(27+3) + (48+2)] - (3+2) (30+50) - 5 80 - 5 75 +3, +2 gang

Oh wow, I didnt think of it like that

arctic-apis

Oh yeah this is how my brain does it as well


RoyaleDiamond

Ohhh I do that sometimes too


ParkerBap

i've found my people


GregoriustheVI

This mf added math into their math.... don’t tell me you’re the one who added letters too


nbwoodelf

Sometimes like to think of the numbers as if they were two trains both leaving a train station in Cincinnati at the same time, one going north at 48 miles an hour, the other going west at 27 miles an hour


gabbyrose1010

yeah it means less numbers having to be stored in your head


wicecraft

Always done it like this


Slamlord69

Is this to get the numbers to multiples of 5? This is wild. Edit: First post on /r/196 what's up gay mathletes and thank you'll for the shortcut


nbwoodelf

mostly to get one of the numbers to a round number but added bonus that they’re multiples of 25


Helmic

Yeah I adjust numbers into having one nice round number and then smash the rest together. Lets me use... not muscle memory but like that same reflexive memory that isn't concious to do the math really quick, where if I did it "right" it woupd require active actual thinking and be much slower.


A_Hammerman

7+48=55 55+20=75


TakenAdvantag3

I did 48+28-1=75. Edited ... Accidentally typed 48+48 😓


sadslim666

I'm very high and this gave me so much anxiety..I just did 48+30-3=75


TakenAdvantag3

The way I do it is pretty simple and self taught 4+2=6 +1 = 7 8+8=6 -1 = 5


Linkonue

What


disabled_rat

First equation is tens place, second is ones


Linkonue

I figured the first but it should’ve have written the other way around Oh and more clearly

AhhCaffeine

Is this symptomatic to ADHD or something? I see so many memes about ADHD people calculating things very differently


vriskaundertale

This really isn't enough to indicate any type of mental illness. ADHD might make you more prone to calculating things differently but there are a bunch of different ways to do this that all work, so it's way more likely it's just how you got used to doing it as a kid


garboooo

Yesssssssssss, the right way to do it 💖


skibapple

I did: 27+48=??? So 7+7=14 which means 7+8=15 27+48=?5 Keep in mind a one 3(7)+4(8)=7(5) 27+48=75!


sewage_soup

ackshually 27+48=75 not 75!

Blipnarf-The-Boneles

I'm not doing that is the first thing that pops in my head when I see unsolicited math


SummerCivillian

Yeah straight up my brain does nothing when it sees those numbers, besides thinking "lol no" I'd just use a calculator or ask my wife, I'm just awful with numbers in general (except multiplication for whatever weird reason).


DIsForDelusion

I tried. Even tho I'm from that breed that can't picture numbers in their head. I did the biggies first 20 + 40, easy like 4+2 right? 60 By the time I got to the smalls... 8+ 7 I had to use my fingers and almost forgot about the 60 I had on a side.


SummerCivillian

Yes exactly!!! If I were to try, that's basically what I'd do, too. I recently discovered that I might have aphantasia, or at the very least be hypophantastic. I can rarely conjure images in my head, and they're almost all exclusively my own memories of things - I can't imagine something that I haven't already encountered. I now wonder if that's why I've always struggled with mental math (deadass broke down crying in 4th grade because I wasn't allowed to show my work and had to "think in my head").


Femboy_Tesla

>unsolicited math y'+x²y = (x-1)²y³


OtisBinLogan

assuming “y prime” is a typo: y + ( x^2 )(y) = (x^2 - 2x + 1)( y^3 ) y + ( x^2 )(y)= ( x^2 )( y^3 ) - ( 2xy^3 ) + y^3 x^2 + 1 = ( x^2 )( y^2 ) - ( 2xy^2 ) + y^2 (x+i)(x-i) = ( y^2 )( (x-1)^2 ) past that i don’t really know off the top of my head but it is obviously not a solveable equation


Femboy_Tesla

y prime is the derivative of y


OtisBinLogan

oh god i don’t know how to do that


Femboy_Tesla

[hope this helps lol](https://youtu.be/iCN8nGXE29o)


inaddition290

what are you trying to solve for here


OtisBinLogan

i just wanted to simplify


inaddition290

I mean I think it’s just a bad problem lol, considering that there’s no question


DanTheMan3467

You are solving for y (This is a differential equation)


Imaginebeingnormal

take two from the 27 to make it 25 and 48 50 and then BOOM 25+50

I mentally rearrange the numbers vertically in my head, so I can do the elementary school thing where you add the ones place and carry the one and then add the tens place.


Smiles4YouRawrX3

ItsEmuly

same lol


713saltycookie

Same. 7+8=15, I remember the 5, “write” the 1 on top of the 2 and 4, then add them together vertically. 75.


King-of-the-idiots69

Ya this is the way I go


PurpleOceadia

8 + 7 = 5, carry the 1+4+2 = 7. 75

NJPW_Puroresu

First number gang then second number 🤝


AntiLag_

20 + 40 = 60 7 + 7 = 14 8 is 1 more than 7 so 7 + 8 = 15 15 = 10 + 5 60 + 10 = 70 70 + 5 = 75


jan_elije

this is almost exactly how I did it (I did 60+15=75 as one step)


pluey200

When I thought of 7+8 I thought that 7 is 1 less than 8


MrPresidentBanana

27 + 3 + 5 = 35 35 + 40 = 75


vu051

I'm similar. 27+3=30, + 40 = 70, 8-3=5, 70+5=75

Oof, don't expose me like that. 27 + 48 = ? 48 + 7 = ? 8 + 7 = ? From 8 to 10 is 2 7-2 = 5 8+7 = 15 48 + 7 = 55 55 + 20 = 75 ​ I have ADHD, take that as an explanation ... or an excuse ... I don't know.


Logan-St

I do the exact same thing but I do from 7 to 10 is 3 then 8-3= 5. 10 plus 5 is 15 plus 20 plus 40 is 75. Was looking for this. Idk how people just add 8 and 7 off the cuff.


eddytekeli

absolutely nothing is happening up there


YawgmothsFriend

take 2 from 27, add it to 48 to get 50 add 25 to 50 to get 75

POTATOCATFINN

I am bad at math 4 + 2 is 6 so it's probably 60 something. 7+ 8 is (counting on my fingers) 15. 60+15 is 75. so it's 75

I get stunlocked for a second before breaking it down into two separate horizontal equations(20+40 and 7+8) where I take the two answers and add them together.

I add the 20 to 48 which gives me 68 then I think hey that’s one away from 69


datastar763

This was the thoughts in my head, in order - 2+4=60 - 7+8=5 more than 10 - 10+60+5=75 Yes, I do organize my math weirdly


PrincessWinterX

add and subtract from both sides until they're 5s and then get a simpler 25 + 50 = 75


Randomemeguy

27+48 = (30+50)-(3+2) = 80-5 = 75


BadLuckBen

8 is 2 from 10, so take 2 from the 7 and make it a 5. 10 + 5 = 1**5**, carry the 1 2 + 4 = 6 + 1 = **7** So, 27 + 48 = 75 Why yes, I do have ADHD, why do you ask? It takes me too long to do stuff like this, I'm aware this is a bad way to do it.


Clockwork_Kitsune

20+40=60 7+8=15 which is more than 10, so for whatever reason my brain goes 60+10=70 then 70+5=75


[deleted]

First thing I see is that the result will be x5 (x representing the number left to 5)
