This is a common math problem. There are two ways to answer this question but both will give you the same answer. There is a misconception that this can also equal 40. If someone posts that the answer is 40, please let me know and I will explain why that is not actually the answer.
1+4=5 2+5=7
3+6=21
8+11=
These equations are actually:
1*(4+1)=52*(5+1)=7
3*(6+1)=21
8*(11+1)=96
Therefore:
8+11 = 96
