Answer

The first equation is true, the second and third are false, and the answer to the equation should be 19.

Math puzzles like this aren’t about literally interpreting mathematical symbols. They are about identifying a pattern in the set of equations and applying it to the unknown.

So, add the first number to the product of the two numbers to get the answer.

a + b means a + ab

This works for the known equations.

1 + 4 means 1 + 1(4) = 5

2 + 5 means 2 + 2(5) = 12

3 + 6 means 3 + 3(6) = 21

Applying the pattern to the last equation answers 96.

8 + 11 means 8 + 8(11) = 96
