"Matematik yapmak" matematik problemleri üzerinde çalışmaya başlamak demektir.
- English (US)
It means figure it out yourself, and it’s used when the answer is already clear.
Example:
Person 1: “Oh no! The boat is sinking. Are we gonna be ok?”
Person Two:” I can’t swim and I don’t have a life jacket, you do the math. “
Basically person two is saying it’s very clear the situation is dangerous.

@milkfat is it like "you consider the rest"?
- English (US)
@alcearocea It’s a little like that. It’s more like “you can figure that out own your own”
Here is another example:
Person 1: “Can you cook?”
Person 2: “I’m an adult and live alone, you do the math”
In this case it means like “obviously I can cook, I am an adult”
“You consider the rest” does not sound very natural and people may not understand.
Here’s on more example:
Person 1: “Are you good at soccer?”
Person 2: “I lived in Mexico for 10 years, you do the math”
Person two is trying to say that it is very clear he is good at soccer.
“You do the math” is trying to tell the other person they asked a question with a very clear answer.

Try to make sure you only say “you do the math” with people you are friends with. If they are not friends with you, they will think you are insulting them.
