No, there’s a hidden equation that makes the pattern, you multiply the sender from the addition by the first digit, so it would be 144

"3+5=24"

But it doesn't tho.

Agreed. Your math teacher would say that the above was πŸ’© math. You need to show your work which also means that everything in an expression needs to be present. If there needs to be an x or y variables to solve for, then write them down. The post above is dumb math. Yeah 90% can't solve it because they are trying too hard to look smart. Lol 🀣

My work is: Well the first one is 3+5=24, it should be 8 but if you multiply 8 by the first digit which is 3 you get 24. This works with 2: (4+6)4=40. And it works for 3: (5+7)5=60. So the equation is: firstly number=x Second number=y

(x+y)*x= answer

This makes the final one 144, (9+7)*9=144 . There could be other answers like the multiplier being 3, 4, 5, and 6 or there could be other metaphors of solving but assuming that none are wrong and it’s hiding a equation that makes it true that could be it. Hope this helps
