Jaxinjersey Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 95 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markinsa Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 96 The formula is (xy+x) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxinjersey Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I see the 40 solution also... maybe they're both correct! But I still get 95 on the extrapolated solution. Mark, I see it as a pattern, not a formula... but I'm no mathmetician! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabibilicious Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 40 ....but I'm no genius and very seldom over think anything. GO RV, then BV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodandStaff Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I'm going with 40...final answer!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO RV, then BV That's what I'd have said too.....40....But it's true I flunked math twice ..Just wasn't my thing ( even though I realize it's fascinating) Please gentle math souls...kindly help me understand how 95 comes in the picture....Grazie in advance..Always willing and happy to learn something.

I suspect both answers could be correct since the middle two equations are completely mathematically (arithmetically) incorrect as is. 40 could be the arithmetic answer and 96 could be the geometric answer (xy+x). Arithmetically, the product of the first line (5) plus the left side of the second line (2 + 5) equals the product on the second line (12). The product on the second line (12) plus the left side of the third line (3 + 6) equals the product on the third line (21). So, the product on the third line (21) plus the left side of the fourth line (8 + 11) would produce a product on the fourth line of 40. Geometrically, (1x4 + 1) = 5. (2x5 + 2) = 12. (3x6 + 3) = 21. So, (8x11 + 8) = 96. Since the first line is the only arithmetically correct answer, I suspect the geometric answer of 96 is the correct answer if there is only one and not two correct answers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, hence a "trick question"! What I have found in domestic life is, sometimes no matter what answer I give, it is always the wrong answer. So, I need to put all the possible answers out there - and still be completely wrong. But, at least I tried (not to get away, of course!) and that seems to somehow earn some favor - at least to try again! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxinjersey Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Oops! 96, not 95... rushed my adding in my head! Here's how I came up with it... not as a formula (no multiplication/products), but as a pattern, extrapolated out (addition/sums). Simply add the sum of the previous line to the next:: 1 + 4 = 5 2 + 5 = 7 (+5) = 12 3 + 6 = 9 (+12) = 21 4 + 7 = 11 (+21) = 32 5 + 8 = 13 (+32) = 45 6 + 9 = 15 (+45) = 60 7 + 10 = 17 (+60) = 77 THEREFORE: 8 + 11 = 19 (+77) = 96 Edited June 16, 2016 by Jaxinjersey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice the arithmetic progression on the left side of the equation and the gap in the numbers between the 3rd ands 4th line. I was thinking inside the box. However, with the four added lines, there is additional support for the arithmetic answer that is equally as viable as the geometric answer! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
