Let’s analyze the pattern in the given equations:
- 4 + 1 = 12
- 8 + 4 = 32
- 3 + 2 = 3
- 6 + 3 = ?
Step 1: Identifying the Pattern
Observing the inputs and outputs, let’s check for a hidden rule:
Checking multiplication or exponentiation:
- 4+1=124 + 1 = 12
- 8+4=328 + 4 = 32
- 3+2=33 + 2 = 3
There doesn’t seem to be a direct arithmetic relationship, so let’s look at another possible transformation.
Step 2: Finding a Consistent Rule
Examining how each equation might be transformed:
Looking at the outputs:
- 4 + 1 = 12 → (4 × 3) = 12
- 8 + 4 = 32 → (8 × 4) = 32
- 3 + 2 = 3 → (3 × 1) = 3
A possible pattern is: Result=First number×(Difference between numbers)\text{Result} = \text{First number} \times (\text{Difference between numbers})
Applying this to the missing equation:
- 6 + 3
- Difference: 6−3=36 – 3 = 3
- Result: 6×3=186 \times 3 = 18
