Verified Answer :

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

I really believe that the answer is 63
