    Hey, this is Presh Talwalkar

    Person who has forgotten about The Distributive Law and lied about 1917.

    Discussion of a brief history of this viral math problem

    Including lying about 1917

    Ultimately followed by brief discussion on the order of operations

    But forgets about Terms and The Distributive Law.

    And that’s the answer

    Now watch his other ones, where he screws it up royally. Dude has no idea how to handle brackets. Should be avoided at all costs.

      I’ve seen many of his videos and haven’t noticed any obvious errors. Could you please link to the specific video(s) that you are referencing in regards to errors he has made, especially those related to the distributive law and what you reference to as “1917,” as well as any explanation as to what is incorrect/misleading/lying?
