Here’s today’s math problem:
5 + 3 = 28
9 + 1 = 810
8 + 6 = 214
5 + 4 = 19
Your task is to solve the next equation:
7 + 3 =??
Don’t worry if you’re stuck. We’ll help you out.
Answer: 410
Explanation
These equations aren’t normal. They have a tricky pattern. Here’s how it works:
For Equation 1: 5 – 3 = 2 and 5 + 3 = 8, so 5 + 3 becomes 28.
For Equation 2: 9 – 1 = 8 and 9 + 1 = 10, so 9 + 1 is 810.
For Equation 3: 8 – 6 = 2 and 8 + 6 = 14, so 8 + 6 is 214.
For Equation 4: 5 – 4 = 1 and 5 + 4 = 9, so 5 + 4 is 19.
Now, for the new equation 7 + 3:
7 – 3 = 4 and 7 + 3 = 10, so 7 + 3 = 410.
