Seriously, do some basic math before posting.

Crap like this pisses me off. Not only does it show a lack of basic mathematical comprehension, but a lack of an ability to perform basic reasoning.

To break down the word problem so it is simply understood, here is the formula they are communicating, before simplification:

((2N+6)/2)-N)=3

This simplifies to:

(2(N+3))/2)-N = 3

which simplifies further to:

(N+3)-N = 3

Which simplifies further to......


3 =3


This is not some sort of revelation. it is so basic that any child old enough to understand language can understand it. Yet, this is the sort of garbage thinking that is so prevalent in social media, and it gets reposted frequently without people stopping to think about what the math actually is saying. Please people, take a moment to do the math before you repost something like this, if you take a few moments, and use the rules for math we all learned in junior high, you won't see this as anything more than a lame attempt to get attention from someone who can't do basic math.
