If you assume that the real equation is N=(x+(y*z)) where y is the line number. so the last line would be 5+(4*8)=37 Like I said, it works out, but it is not logical based on the fact that the missing numbers (4+7) would fall apart if reintroduced.

Jump to postThe correct answer is 45. For those who get 45: Formula is x + y = z, where the result is taken by doing x + (x * y) = z. Therefore, 1 + 4 = 1 + (1 * 4) = 5.
