its 45

34

34

The answer is 34 , 21+5+8=34

34

34 (i.e 21 +13)

34 (i.e 21 +13)

wrong?
45 (i.e 5*8+5)

shervydman:

wrong?
45 (i.e 5*8+5)

Shervy how you dey now? How did you get multiplication instead of addition?

Well, I arrived at mine like this:
1 + 4 = 5 .......... 1+4 = 5
2 + 5 = 12 ......... 2 + 5 + 5 = 12 (** 5 here is d total of d 1st equation)
3 + 6 = 21 ......... 3 + 6 + 12 = 21 (** 12 here is d total of 2nd equation)
5 + 8 = ? ........... 5 + 8 + 21 = 34 (** 21 here is d total of 3rd equation)

lol.......i'm fine. thanks.
I know how u arrived at ur answer but the answer goes like this.

1 + 4 = 5. its the same thing as 1 * 4 + 1 = 5
2 + 5 = 12. decipher it like this. 2 * 5 + 2 = 12
3 + 6 = 21. ........................... 3 * 6 + 3 = 21
5 + 8= ?. .............................. 5 * 8 + 5 = 45

note: the + changes to * while u add the result with the first number.

Must you introduce multiplication when simple addition could do?

Okay o, I've heard, let's wait for the exam result now

Also, why did you 'lol' in your response

I don't know why I like to use the word 'lol'. forgive me.

Of course its good to laugh often cos laughter itself is a medicine, I used to laugh too but just curious about it in that context, are you making jest of me?

lailai.....aw can I make jest of future first lady?

shervydman:

When Nigerians including you have made jest of past first lady nko? why will future first lady's own be different? Let me start reminding orgzeyn now that I need an expatriate teacher o

............urs will be different. I/we promise.

Go and watch your football, make we no derail this thread

vivie01:
Go and watch your football, make we no derail this thread, its nice chatting with you though more explanation and conviction is needed, lol

lol.....sorry for the word.
lets go by ur logic. ..... that's adding the result of the previous equation with the new equation.
u'll notice that there's symmetry in the first three equations; like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....... but not in the fourth equation.
the first equation... 1 + 4. the second is 2 + 5 and the third is 3 + 6. take a look at the first figure in each equations, 1, 2, 3. the second figure in each equation 4, 5, 6. the sequence broke off in the fourth equation which is 5 + 8. if we flow with the sequence, there supposed to be 4 + 7 before 5 + 8. now, do this with ur logic

1 + 4 = 5
2 + 5 = 12
3 + 6 = 21
4 + 7 = ? (32)
5 + 8 = ??

Agreed oh effiwe! Thanks for the explanation.

Modified: I rechecked it now again and can see that you are very correct!
That missing equation line is the trick there!
