In fact, in this problem, there are two possible solutions

Solution number 1:.

If the sum of each equation to add the amount of the previous:

1 + 4 = 5
5 + 2 + 5 = 12
12 + 3 + 6 = 21

Thus, 21 + 8 + 11 = 40.

So, if you follow this method, the answer is equal to 40



Solution number 2:.

For the second method we use multiplication:

1 + (4 × 1) = 5
+ 2 (5 × 2) = 12
3 + (6 × 3) = 21

As a result, we get 8 + (8 × 11) = 96.

A:. 96
