looks like these two are ready to start World War III over a simple math problem. She’s convinced she’s right. He’s even more convinced he’s right. They’re both pointing fingers like they’re defending their PhD in mathematics. But the problem itself is calmer than both of them.
Here’s how it actually goes:
First comes the multiplication
20 × 2 = 40
Now put everything in order
20 + 40 − 2
Continue normally
20 + 40 = 60
60 − 2 = 58
So the correct answer is 58.
Neither her 40 nor his 68 survived the math. Just a small misunderstanding that didn’t deserve all that shouting.
