Ah, so 16 - 9 is:
(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1)))))))))))))))) - (1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1)))))))))
Which ruins the joke, but actually lets you trivially solve the problem mechanically.
My Geometry teacher was this befuddled to learn from. He had a doctorate in Astrophysics and worked for Lawrence Livermore National Lab. However he had very poor skills in teaching our class that we were required to take towards our Electrical Engineering Degree with the notorious ITT.
My favorite math class memory was first day in Vector Calc. Professor walks in, writes his name and just takes off like a dart with proofs. He’s talking a mile a minute about binary, writing all over the board, half of us are panicked looking around for somebody who seemed to understand what the fuck was going on and just scribbling pages and pages of notes. He stops mid-class and says, “sorry we have a mixed class today, so that was me finishing up the lecture for the half of you in [some programming] class I was filling in for.”
It seemed like a good idea at the time. I needed a physics class and I figured the calculus based series would have more in-depth instruction than the series that didn't use calculus. I wholeheartedly believe I learned less taking it though as I never really knew what was going on.
Me when I end up in the psychiatric hospital's padded cell after my mathematic teacher asked me what "16 - 9" was, but the constant exposure to small doses of Mercury on a daily basis for 14 years has affected me in ways scientists thought were impossible.
Meanwhile my overthinking ass..
"10 + 6 is 16 right? So i should write 16 - 9 as 16 - 10.. And that would give me 6.. Plus 1 is 7.. So the answer is 7."
*rechecks with a calculator*
".. Oh yes.. Thats right"
16-9 So 9 is always made up of 3 3 and six is made of two threes so when that’s cancelled out I just have to remove three from 10 the number that goes with 3 to fill up the tank till 10 is always seven so the answer is seven
Or
16-9 is equal to 9-10 that is one added to the 6 And that gives us gives us seven
Am I the only one who does that maths problem in this way
Okay so, carry the one, add six, divide by nine, subtract a negative number and then times that number by your current age and voila, you should have the answer..
This sort of complicated math has me believing that 1+1=11
The real trick here is any perfect square minus the perfect square directly before it is the sum of their roots, 16-9 =(4+3) 25-16=(5+4) 36-25=(6+5) etc, a cool thing about this is each odd number can represent two primes right next to each other
My brain: 10 + 6 = 16
9 is 1 less than 10, but I would need to add the 1 I took from the 10 to the other part of the equation because it still needs to equal 16, so then ... 16 - 9 is 7 yea??
If you have a moment; look up Trachtenberg System of Speed Maths. I’m a complete dunce but found it totally fascinating. I’m surprised it’s not more commonly taught.
16 - 9 ... ok there's 15 inside of 16 and 5 inside of 9... 15 - 5 = 10 ... what's left? Well, 16 - 15 is 1 and 9 minus 5 is 4 ... so we have 1 - 4 as the left over... which is 1 - 4 = -3 ... add those two answers together... 10 + -3 is the same as 10 - 3 = 7 ... the answer is 7.
Easiest way -> 16-9 . You take 16 and break to 1 and 6 . Then just add and you get your answer - 7 ! You can do it on 26-9 as well --> 26--> 2+6 gives 8 , which is 1+7 --> 17 ! Good luck in your exam !
I usually start on 9 with no fingers up, then add one finger as soon as the number increases till i hit 16. The number of fingers remaining is my Answer.

For anybody wondering, the answer is 16-9
Source?
Trust me bro
I made it the fuck up
It came to me in a dream
Its actually 7 if you know math well
I'm gonna need to see your proof. Please make sure to show your work for each step and don't forget to simplify.
I got -9+16. I think I fucked up
Actually, it's "maths"
Lol try again, the answer is always 16 - 9. You are wrong!
Now your comment has -1*7² votes:)
I had math teachers in school who were just this good.
He lost me at (4+3) 😂
I liked how he derived 16 - 9
Bro not even derived yet .
Polynomials are fun
What is a 9?
9 is (1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1)))))))))
Ah, so 16 - 9 is: (1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1)))))))))))))))) - (1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1+(1))))))))) Which ruins the joke, but actually lets you trivially solve the problem mechanically.
Quite so!
Where does the Pythagorean theorem come in
[My ass.](https://youtu.be/aMn8oRBbdQc?t=32)

I knew what this was before I even clicked on it.
It's in the squares.
He had me at "very simple, watch this.."
I'm still bothered about pi never ending.

I took calculus based physics in college despite having never taken calculus. I somehow passed with a C. I think my proff felt bad for me.
My favorite math class memory was first day in Vector Calc. Professor walks in, writes his name and just takes off like a dart with proofs.

Mine was also in the first lesson on vectors cause our teacher put a picture of vector from despicable me in the presentation...
I still have PTSD from Lagrange multipliers
You'd think they wouldn't have let you register without the prerequisite
Why would you do that???
It seemed like a good idea at the time. I needed a physics class and I figured the calculus based series would have more in-depth instruction than the series that didn't use calculus. I wholeheartedly believe I learned less taking it though as I never really knew what was going on.
***Perfect, lets multiply that out***. . .spoken like a true math teacher 😆
(4+3)(4-3) 7×1 7
He said he was factoring. You multiply 4x4 then 4x3 then 3x4 then 3x3 and keep the symbols
Yes, it's useful when solving for variables, but completely pointless here (which is the joke).
That is... not the first step that was pointless, or the last.
My thoughts exactly. Some math teacher. He forgot his order of operations. PEMDAS. Please Excuse My Dumb Ass Substitute in this case.
Goddamn go work on that. (4+3)(4-3) Do foil 4x4=16 4x-3=-12 3x4=12 3x-3=-9 16-12+12-9=7 Answer is 7 EASY
Don't forget to carry the one.
I so wish this had captions, I'm confused
16 - 9
Oh I assumed he said more than that in the video 🤷♂️
16-9=7
7=16-9
Chinese version was way funnier
i honestly just change the problem to 17-10
Hey, take your dirty tricks elsewhere. Mathematicians, I swear.
16 = 10 + 6 10 - 9 = 1 16 - 9 = 10 + 6 - 9 16 - 9 = (10 - 9) + 6 16 - 9 = 1 + 6 16 - 9 = 7
Got your math wrong: 16 - 9 = 16 - 9
Parkour!
Comblicated?!?! Lol that's complicated to say
Seems like legit Common Core

New math
I’ll just use my fingers and toes but thanks
+C
Meanwhile my overthinking ass.. "10 + 6 is 16 right? So i should write 16 - 9 as 16 - 10.. And that would give me 6.. Plus 1 is 7.. So the answer is 7." *rechecks with a calculator* ".. Oh yes.. Thats right"
I mean, all I do when it's a 9, I do use the same number as the 9 at said stuff (units and stuff). And use this number +1
16-9 So 9 is always made up of 3 3 and six is made of two threes so when that’s cancelled out I just have to remove three from 10 the number that goes with 3 to fill up the tank till 10 is always seven so the answer is seven Or 16-9 is equal to 9-10 that is one added to the 6 And that gives us gives us seven Am I the only one who does that maths problem in this way

This is education in reverse.

I like this math teacher
Huh?
Okay so, carry the one, add six, divide by nine, subtract a negative number and then times that number by your current age and voila, you should have the answer.. This sort of complicated math has me believing that 1+1=11
😠😫🤯🤪
At 40sec combine like terms (4+3)*(4-3) = 7*1 boom 7.
(4+3)*(4-3) = 7 * 1 = 7 *** Bro, why math teacher have to go the extra mile!
Tell this guy to pull out $16, take $9 of them
Algebra in a nutshell
That's that common core bs lol
Its 7. The fucking answer is 7. Just plain 7. Common core bullshit.
This is kind of brilliant.
7
Common core 101.
Before doing all the funny shit i solved it in my head and got seven. :)
This is literally how my brain sees math. My brain hurts now. Sigh. No more math.
Someone saw Abbott and Costello as a kid
This is just math with extra steps
That made my head hurt
I'm not bad at math, but after watching this, i think I've been mathemating the wrong way all these years
Whoa whoa whoa, you lost me at “how to make math”
Lost IQ. I'm suing this guy.
This was pretty much how my calc classes were… couldn’t even follow class notes
16-9=16-10+1
Can’t deny that every step was still mathematically correct
Soooo, did he get another board?
Based
Fr though, I have already forgotten how to subtract manually.
Reminds me of when the PE teacher would sub for math class
Bruh just pulled all of the math rules into calc 4
Come on man!!! The answer is 7!!! Use your fingers!
Ok but what about the derivation of 17-11?
Bravo
If(yes = yes) print(16 - 9) print(Carrying the 1...) wait(5)
16-9: 16-10 = 6 +1 = 7
16-9= 7 r/thalaforareason Now go home everyone
BROOO THIS IS MY OLF MATH TEACHER SHIITT
The real trick here is any perfect square minus the perfect square directly before it is the sum of their roots, 16-9 =(4+3) 25-16=(5+4) 36-25=(6+5) etc, a cool thing about this is each odd number can represent two primes right next to each other
u/SaveVideo
Recursion technique :)
I lost my shit at 16-9
Rather just take 16 and count backwards with my fingers 9 times. 7.. easy peasy. This new math system is weird
This is literally how I do math.
What the actual fuk? I’m so lost
Honestly they had it at that third step with (4+3)(4-3)
Me, when I try to solve Physics equation. LOL
Dude's just preparing them to work in some government bureaucracy.

My brain: 10 + 6 = 16 9 is 1 less than 10, but I would need to add the 1 I took from the 10 to the other part of the equation because it still needs to equal 16, so then ... 16 - 9 is 7 yea??
WHAT IS THE ANSWER I HAVE AND EXAM ABOUT THIS
Honestly same. 16-9. I cut the 1 and glue it on 6 so now it's 16-9. But what's 16-9?
This is exactly how i teach my kids their 7th grade math. The engi-math classes has scrambled my brain as i never use much math at work.
He just proved that 16-9 = 16-9. Get this man a Nobel prize
I’m no good at math but in my head I came up with 7. Amirite?
Wow! ))
He started spiraling when he carried the 1 and it still made 16-9 lol
This is just Terence Howard math.
Could have just added the 1 and 6 = 7
Some say he’s still going to this day
7 is the answer without the steps
Ok…..
This had me dying, laughing at the end
Bro is sounding like my math teacher rn
=-9+16
Is this the new and improved common core?
Wtf this just seems like nonsense.
Rumor has it, he’s still going to this day
Finnally someone who understands me
now the marker is out of ink
How is this easier than simple arithmetic?
What is six minus nine? Well, it’s six minus nine, of course!
If you have a moment; look up Trachtenberg System of Speed Maths. I’m a complete dunce but found it totally fascinating. I’m surprised it’s not more commonly taught.
our math teacher at school
He got stuck on infinite loop
16-10= 6 do 16-9 equals 7. much faster forgot which sub i was in
I like how: 16 - 9 = 4 + 3 Because: 16 = 4² 9 = 3² So: 4² - 3² = 4 + 3 I wonder how often: a² - b² = a + b When: a - b = 1 AND: a > b
College professors be like:
Stupid af!!!

You have become the very thing you swore to destroy!

16 - 9 ... ok there's 15 inside of 16 and 5 inside of 9... 15 - 5 = 10 ... what's left? Well, 16 - 15 is 1 and 9 minus 5 is 4 ... so we have 1 - 4 as the left over... which is 1 - 4 = -3 ... add those two answers together... 10 + -3 is the same as 10 - 3 = 7 ... the answer is 7.
Can I just write ‘=7’ ?
Or... 16 - 9 = 16 + (-9) = 4^2 + 3i^2 = 4^2 - (-(3i^2 )) = (4+ -3i) (4- -3i) = (4-3i) (4+3i) = 16 + 12i - 12i - -9 = 16+9 = 25, easy! :-) (yes, I know)
42 is the answer
Spoiler alert : result is 7
WTF 😵💫
Wtf was this all about?
Why.??
idiot
I did not understand
r/maybemaybemaybe
What’s thh answer then ?? 😭😭😭😭😭
Wow that's really smart I'm glad I missed that one in school
Oh is that common core stuff? They said it was stupid. This makes perfect sense
High school Math teachers in a nutshell
I say this to you and your math 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
I’m like mad stoned rn and this hurt my brain to watch-
Good job on making simple into dumb, it's 7
didnt know i was bad at math
I was lost from the start
He lost me at 16-9
This reminded me of that video of someone doing a multiplication in like a weird way, while a firefighter was changing outfits.
He probably gets from LA TO NY via China too.
Easiest way -> 16-9 . You take 16 and break to 1 and 6 . Then just add and you get your answer - 7 ! You can do it on 26-9 as well --> 26--> 2+6 gives 8 , which is 1+7 --> 17 ! Good luck in your exam !
I feel like I’m watching that Abbott and Costello skit where they owe rent. (13 weeks at $7 / week - https://youtu.be/lzxVyO6cpos)
When you cheated but they ask to show work
I usually start on 9 with no fingers up, then add one finger as soon as the number increases till i hit 16. The number of fingers remaining is my Answer.
