Question

If 4+5-2 =33 and 10+12-5 =119 then what will be 6+8-3 =

Answer 1

There is a pattern to this question. The pattern can be seen by trial and error method in the first two expressions.

Let us take the first expression. It is 4+5-2 =33

Now, 33 can be written as: $4^2+5^2-2^3=33$ . Likewise, 119 can be rewritten as: $10^2+12^2-5^3 =119$.

Thus, the pattern is subtracting the cubed of the last given number from the sum of the squared of the first two numbers.

Therefore, applying this rule/pattern we can see that 6+8-3 can be rewritten as:

$6^2+8^2-3^3 =73$

Thus, 73 is the required answer.
