52

Yes!

96?

I think you’re correct. That’s what I came up with.

Ditto

52 or 67357784457877 haven’t made my mind up.

40?

I also say 40!

40

Or, 98?

40 didn't use the implied sequence, only what was shown.

96

96

8x11+8

69,420

I have to be honest though, I used a calculator

96.

The formula is the first number times the second number plus the first number to get the total.

8*11 + 8 = 96

Multiply numbers then add lower number to sum

Ah, 96!

40

96

a + (b x row number) = 52

a + (b x a) = 96

I would go with 40

96

R: Response

Rn = R{n-1} + (bn + an)

Rn = (an * bn) + an

Rn = an * bn + an

R₈ = a₈ * b₈ + a₈

R₈ = (8) (11) + (8)

R₈ = 96

96 = 8*11+8

last time I checked 8 + 11 was 19 I guess that hasn't changed.

40

I get 96

The problem is that 2 + 5 =7 and 3 + 6 =9 🤣

96!

40

40 would be the not-genius answer, as I'm in that camp 🥹

I‘m not a genious. It‘s 40 for me.

42

Pattern seems to be adding the previous sum from the line above. So 40. The notation is dumb.

Nope. 🙄 Because inaccurate math “puzzles” like this create issues when applying math and logic correctly.

8 + 11 =19 is the correct answer.

2 + 5 =7

3 + 6 =9

FYI: I like this account. This isn’t an attack against you. 🤗

96

It is 96

Multiplying the second number by which line number it is each time

Sorry, accidentally copied into a different comment.

#nostrproblems 😂 :

1 + 4(1) =5

2 + 5(2) =12

3 + 6(3) =21

8 + 11(4) =52

1 + 4(1) =5

2 + 5(2) =12

3 + 6(3) =21

8 + 11(4) =52

40

89

Whoops sorry meant 96
