ChatGPT-5 Can't Do Basic Math

ChatGPT-4 can solve it them. Even using GPT-5 from the API gives the correct result. Something with the ChatGPT frontend prompt seems to be the issue.
Example:
Prompt: Solve 5.9=x+5.11
Answer:
To solve the equation:
5.9 = x + 5.11
Subtract 5.11 from both sides:
5.9 - 5.11 = x
-0.21 = x
Final answer:
\boxed{x = -0.21}
i asked about 10 of my friends and they all got the right answers as well.
is it just people trying to get views on X or is it actually happening?
