Let me help you with the answer;

1 + 4 = 5 ➡️ 1 + 4 X1 = 5

2 + 5 = 12 ➡️2 + 5X2 = 12

3 + 6 = 21➡️ 3 + 6x3 = 21

4 + 7 = 32 ➡️ 4 + 7X4 = 32

5 + 8 = 45 ➡️ 5 + 8X5 = 45

Another method is ➡️ 32 + 5 + 8 = 45 -

You’ll need to solve 4 first before finding the answer for 5. Hope that helps!

I am slowly trying to make heads and tails with this math problem. Which I have apparently turned it into a problem for myself. To be honest I don't recall seeing this type of math 🤔

I really appreciate all your help in trying to explain it to me.

But I am not ready to throw in the towel.

Thank you so much for taking the time in trying to get me to understand..

Have a wonderful Monday.

Hi @johamilton

After researching on the net and receiving help from @sudejo @KCullen127 and making a few phone calls , I think my brain finally kicked in. 😅

The answer to 5+8 =(5×8)+5 = 45

I was determined to solve this equation.

Thank you all for taking the time to explain this to me.
