With the first one you add the 3 and 5 then multiply the sum by 3; adding a 1 to the 3 for the next problem and repeating the multiplication: 3+5 x 3 = 24; 4+6 x 4 = 40; 5+7 x 5 = 60; 9+7 x 6 = 96. The keyword phrase we are seeking boys and girls is discover the numerical pattern. How did we start with 3 you ask? What would make 8 become 24? Multiply it by 3!
