Yeah I know that. But I was feeling confused as to why it was here. That’s why I was feeling trolled, because it made me doubt basic math for being posted in a memes community.
They did the joke wrong. To do it right you need to use the ÷ symbol. Because people never use that after they learn fraction, people treat things like a + b ÷ c + d as
a + b
-----
c + d
Or (a + b) ÷ (c + d) when they should be treating it as a + (b ÷ c) + d.
That’s the most common one of these “troll.math” tricks. Because notating as
a + b + d
-
c
Is much more common and useful. Do people get used to grouping everything around the division operator as if they’re in parentheses.
Inside the parens first, so it becomes 2 + 5*3
Then tou do multiplication before addition, so 2 + 15
Then addition, so 17

Alternatively, the poster calculated the wrong answer, thus assuming this guy was wrong.
