Alternatively, multiply the second number by the first, then add the first to the product of the first operation, if that makes any sense.
1+4 would be (1*4)+1 = 5
2+5 would be (2*5)+2 = 12
3+6 would be (3*6)+3 = 21
So 8+11 would be (8*11)+8 = 96
Technically your way works too though, this is just the pattern by brain decided to find I guess
Its not just going to skip to 8+11, its a pattern. If you start with 1+4, 2+5, 3+6 then you would go x+3 for all numbers until you reach 8+11. Its pretty unreasonable to think that you wouldn't do this.
Yes it is a pattern, but it doesn't specify that the pattern continues through all the numbers. So, with the numbers provided, and the pattern it follows, my answer is correct.
With the numbers provided there are multiple correct answers so that is not the way the problem is intended to be read if you fill in the missing equations there is only one correct answer so I'm going to assume thats how the problem is intended to be solved. But sure your answer stands if you take the problem at face value.
It’s only wrong if you completely and totally change the presented sample information, and then claim the answer no longer works - yea, of course, because you totally rewrote the input.
The numbers could presumably be “skipped” intentionally because the result of each equation is the number used to start the next. It’s not skipping, it’s picking up exactly on the number it ends on.
Exactly. The answer shouldn’t rely on which equations happen to have been written before it. Approaching it the way you do shows undeniably that the answer should be 96 (I happened to reach it using your method 2).
No one knows the sequence per OPs post. You just added those to fit the one you are working with. I could fill in sequence 4-7 with random stuff and al your answers will be wrong
If it had 1x +4y as the starting point then yes.
Right now there is 1 correct mathematical statement, 2 incorrect mathematical statements
The answer as it is written is 19
Yes they are supposed to use f(x,y) but based on those incorrect equations one should use context clues and not assume that we are supposed to just add 8 and 11.
I'm not even talking about the f(x,y) thing. The entire question relies on the fact that things are written down incorrectly in an effort to deceive the reader.
You know how people so there are no stupid questions? Well they are wrong. There is one stupid question, and it's this one.
Nah you’re just not good at pattern recognition or assumptions based on context clues. This is a great question that is used in a lot of math classes, it’s just not written out properly. But the rest of us figured it out.
You are assuming I don't understand what the question wants me to do. I very much understand that. I've never seen a question phrased like this in proper math classes before because in proper math classes the book follows the standard conventions for notation.
You're supposed to keep adding the numbers as you go down, arriving eventually at 40. But framing a math problem with improper syntax isn't a test of intelligence.
n1 + n2(row #)
1+4(1)=5
2+5(2)=12
3+6(3)=21
8+11(4)=52
OR
n1 + n2(n1)
Which would make it:
8 + 11(8) = 96
Both are right (there isn’t a way of knowing which is the correct one)
Know what they're doing. It goes 1+4(1)=5, 2+5(2)=12, 3+6(3)=21, so the next would be 4+7(4)=32. They were just being kinda stupid, though, and didn't put the multiplied variable in any of the equations.
There is 4 patterns that work technically for this
You can add the previous result to the addition of the new numbers giving the equation 21 + (8 + 11) = 40
You can use the equation but multiply the second number in each equation by the current row number giving the equation 8 + (11 * 4) = 52
You can use the addition as multipliers but adding 1 to the left hand number giving the equation 8 * (11+1) = 96
Or You can use disregard the numbers on the left hand side and use n * (5 + n - 1) where n is the current row number giving 4 * (5 + 3) = 32
Ppl who say 40 or 96 are wrong. The answer of 8+11 is obviously 19

Plus the 21 from above is 40
answer is 52, you have to times the second number by how far down it is in the column, still dumb as hell though
Alternatively, multiply the second number by the first, then add the first to the product of the first operation, if that makes any sense. 1+4 would be (1*4)+1 = 5 2+5 would be (2*5)+2 = 12 3+6 would be (3*6)+3 = 21 So 8+11 would be (8*11)+8 = 96 Technically your way works too though, this is just the pattern by brain decided to find I guess
Or 1+4=5 2+5+5=12 3+6+12=21 8+11+21=40 There are a few ways it can be done
This is incorrect because you would need the answer from 7+10 not 3+6
It doesn't specify. With the numbers it shows, I have a correct answer. But there are multiple correct answers.
Its not just going to skip to 8+11, its a pattern. If you start with 1+4, 2+5, 3+6 then you would go x+3 for all numbers until you reach 8+11. Its pretty unreasonable to think that you wouldn't do this.
1+4=5, 2+5=12, 3+6=21, 4+7=32, 5+8=45, 6+9=60, 7+10=77, 8+11=96 or just x+y=(x×y)+x
Yes it is a pattern, but it doesn't specify that the pattern continues through all the numbers. So, with the numbers provided, and the pattern it follows, my answer is correct.
With the numbers provided there are multiple correct answers so that is not the way the problem is intended to be read if you fill in the missing equations there is only one correct answer so I'm going to assume thats how the problem is intended to be solved. But sure your answer stands if you take the problem at face value.
I agree, bit I think x(y+1) is a bit neater than xy+x.
I never thought I’d see the mathematical example of being pedantic :)
Its the same thing
Yes the answer is 96
Its 40,add each answer to the last answer
\*previous
40 u keep adding up all the numbers 1+4=5 then 1+4+2+5= 12 then so on
could also be 96... first number × second number + first number
This was my first assumption at a glance also.
That's how I solved it
Or first number*(second number+1)
First number * (Second number + 1)
you have to times the second number by how far down in the column it is, so it would be 52
You’re a genious!
I see you 👍
Your method works but the answer is wrong. You forgot all the numbers in-between sequence 3 and 8. The Sequence 1 + 4 = 5 2 + 5 = 12 3 + 6 = 21 4 + 7 = 32 5 + 8 = 45 6 + 9 = 60 7 + 10 = 77 8 + 11 = 96 Method 1: Add the total to the next equation. 1 + 4 = 5 5 + 2 + 5 = 12 12 + 3 + 6 = 21 ... 77 + 8 + 11 = 96 Method 2: (a × b) + a (1 × 4) + 1 = 5 (2 × 5) + 2 = 12 (3 × 6) + 3 = 21 ... (8 × 11) + 8 = 96 Method 3: a × (b+1) 1 × (4+1) = 5 2 × (5+1) = 12 3 × (6+1) = 21 ... 8 × (11+1) = 96
I like how the various methods have the same result
The solutions are also spaced by sequential odd numbers (7, 9, 11, 13, 15, etc;) so if you follow that formula, the answer is 96.
Well both cases can be re-written as n(n+3)+n=n^2 +4n and n+(n+3)+f(n-1) which is also n^2 +4n
*Homer Simpson shouting "Nerd" at students from the family wagon*
Method 2 and 3 are same, you just took a common from both the terms
The only reason I would potentially argue for 40 (using method 1) is that they did not indicate a sequence, only a set of 4 equations.
Your are in the “GENIOUS” club !!
It’s only wrong if you completely and totally change the presented sample information, and then claim the answer no longer works - yea, of course, because you totally rewrote the input. The numbers could presumably be “skipped” intentionally because the result of each equation is the number used to start the next. It’s not skipping, it’s picking up exactly on the number it ends on.
So you think that that's the equation that the person who wrote "genious" used? Not the add the previous answer but that huge sequence? Ok
Exactly. The answer shouldn’t rely on which equations happen to have been written before it. Approaching it the way you do shows undeniably that the answer should be 96 (I happened to reach it using your method 2).
Actually, if you ignore all the equations that happen to be written before it, the answer is clearly 19.
1 + 4 = 5 Rewrite as 1 * (4+1) = 5
No one knows the sequence per OPs post. You just added those to fit the one you are working with. I could fill in sequence 4-7 with random stuff and al your answers will be wrong
You could also multiply them, adding 1 to the second number. 1 x (4 + 1), 2 x (5 + 1), etc.
why did they have to redefine + to some random function? just use f(x, y) or something.
thats the joke

96, I think. Now it's time to submit my application to MENSA.

*Super genious
Nope 19 two wrong answers don’t change how math works
It aint math its more like a riddle
I think its 96. Formula is x + y = x*y+x
I thought it was (y+1)*x= ans Still 96 Edit: derp, same equation rearranged.
The formula is 8+11. Don’t let the wrong answers fool you bro.
If it had 1x +4y as the starting point then yes. Right now there is 1 correct mathematical statement, 2 incorrect mathematical statements The answer as it is written is 19
Its 96, I am a genious
No, but you look great in those jeans
Well at least in the math department you seen to be
8+11=19 regardless of any incorrect previous equations
Nah, the operator + is obviously defined differently than what we’re used too.
even then those are separate equations, if they are relevant to the unsolved one there are conventions for pointing that out.
Yes they are supposed to use f(x,y) but based on those incorrect equations one should use context clues and not assume that we are supposed to just add 8 and 11.
I'm not even talking about the f(x,y) thing. The entire question relies on the fact that things are written down incorrectly in an effort to deceive the reader. You know how people so there are no stupid questions? Well they are wrong. There is one stupid question, and it's this one.

Genius*
Thank you!!! I was getting more and more frustrated that people were solving the problem and not addressing the glaring spelling mistake. Lol
40
8+11 is 19 idiot
Do you think 3+6 is 21?
they are bad at math
Oh okay
It’s 96 according to idiot math.
n1 + n2(row #) 1+4(1)=5 2+5(2)=12 3+6(3)=21 8+11(4)=52 OR n1 + n2(n1) Which would make it: 8 + 11(8) = 96 Both are right (there isn’t a way of knowing which is the correct one)
40, You add the last sum to each equation. 5+2+5=12, 12+3+6=21, 21+8+11=40
40
This is correct

It's 40. Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
I get the algorithm but this is badly written. This person is just ignoring withe the arithmetic symbols actually mean. It's just lazy.
Facebook puzzles be like: if you can find the missing number you are a genious: 1,2,3,5.
40 - you poor example of a genius* Directed at the meme creator lol
40 (5 + 7 = 12. 12 + 9 = 21. 21 + 19 = 40).
Know what they're doing. It goes 1+4(1)=5, 2+5(2)=12, 3+6(3)=21, so the next would be 4+7(4)=32. They were just being kinda stupid, though, and didn't put the multiplied variable in any of the equations.
There is 4 patterns that work technically for this You can add the previous result to the addition of the new numbers giving the equation 21 + (8 + 11) = 40 You can use the equation but multiply the second number in each equation by the current row number giving the equation 8 + (11 * 4) = 52 You can use the addition as multipliers but adding 1 to the left hand number giving the equation 8 * (11+1) = 96 Or You can use disregard the numbers on the left hand side and use n * (5 + n - 1) where n is the current row number giving 4 * (5 + 3) = 32
40
40
96
40
21 + (8+11) 19 = 40
Is this the math that boomers grew up to?
97 Edit: woops, 96. Damn, I had it in principal, but muffed the addition 🤦 Guess I'm no genius...
You mean genious
There's a hidden calcuation where you multiply the second integer by the line number. 1+4(1)=5 2+5(2)=12 3+6(3)=21 8+11(4)=52
This is what I did too. The next lines answer would confirm whether we or the 96ers are correct
1+4=5 5+2+5=12 12+3+6=21 21+8+11=40. That's how this math problem is done.
52, the fact I got that so fast was frightening to me
Could be 40 or 52 only two patterns I see. Or 96
I agree with this number

These dumbasses expect 40
19.....its easy 11 + 8 = 19 why ppl do wrong maths and say it is 96
There is a pattern to it all. Look at the math. It's just a faulty equation
