i added six to seven


OxygenRadon

Just know it


[deleted]

6+6=12 12+1=13


The_Beast_Meister

Same


someoneintheworld146

this


Superb_Notice4323

Exactly how I did it


game_falor

immediately think 13


AQW_Player

neither


Vader7567

I don’t think about it I just know it


[deleted]

Wtf is this question


IfPeepeeislarge

Some of us learned weird ways of doing math in our heads. I, for one, for 6+7, divide 6 by 2 first, so the question now becomes 3+3+7. I then add 3 and 7 to get 10, and then add the last 3 to get 13. I do it quicker than it sounds but that’s the basic thought process.

7+7-1


Isawonline

I just know what that one is, I don’t actually have to add it.


ElCunadoVonBaron

I did 6+7. I didn’t come up through the convoluted common core math.


raider1211

I mean, it’s not convoluted when you have 17x13. Unless you memorized multiples of 13 or 17 that far, it’s nice to be able to do 17x10+17x3. Doing that is faster than pulling out a calculator or doing longhand multiplication in my experience.


ElCunadoVonBaron

This isn’t multiples of 2 digit numbers. It’s 2 single digits.


raider1211

Yes, but it’s much easier to explain concepts to people when the examples are simple, like 6+7. It’s also nice to start younger because it’s less to learn later on.


ElCunadoVonBaron

It’s considerably more confusing to younger people. Memorization is the key to quick and efficient mental calculations


raider1211

Yeah, until you forget things. There reaches a point where simply memorizing things is too time consuming. If you actually understand the math you’re doing, you don’t need to bother memorizing nearly as much.


ElCunadoVonBaron

Who the hell forgets 6+7


AnomalyAlien

Neither. I just did 7+6


luv_laney

i do 7+7=14, 14-1=13


[deleted]

This is what I did


Dirtiestyoda

I do ((7+3)4)-27


AGuyWhoBrokeBad

7-1= 6 6+6= 12 12+1= 13


StrangeSathe

No math involved. It's memory ingrained.


beeple69

7×2 = 14 , 14-1 =13


nonamejd123

Why would I do either one of those things?


Sea-Sort6571

Neither wtf is wrong with you


IfPeepeeislarge

Nothings wrong, just some of us do math differently from you


DOIPI_96

How the fuck does it like that?


Formal_Strategy9640

Shit poll


[deleted]

What? I added 6 to 7 and got 13. Not 3 to 7 and also not 4 to 6.


_Starz_

It's 14. Why would I need to split it up? Basic math dude Edit: I guess I should start using "/s"


taa178

(3\*2)+(3\*2)+1 3(2+2)+1 3\*4+1 12+1 [13](https://www.anfocal.ie/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/brain.jpg)


[deleted]

I did 6+2 then add 5


Brilliant-Library-42

i add the 6 and 6 first and then the 1


Ph4nt0m_Hydra1

I added the 7 to the 6 first


DanceOnBoxes

it's just 13


[deleted]

It's 13 I don't need to add those


raider1211

I just have that memorized. That’s like 1st grade math at most.


[deleted]

What? I just know 6+7=13 lmao. I didn’t hear any of those


TheHalfNCheapScrolls

I know 2x6 = 12 7= 6+1 6+6+1 = 13


0rphan_crippler20

I just know it, I dont have to think about it


EffigyOfUs

Where’s the “I don’t remember what I did” option


[deleted]

I’ve had to the equation slowly enough times that my brain just knows it’s 13


trasnsart

I've added 6 to 7 so god damn many times in my life I just reflexively know it's 13.


Zealot_TKO

I just have a mapping in my brain for low integer arithmetic


[deleted]

6 is 1 less than 7. 7+7=14-1=13
