@chai2,
I think you need to verify the numbers, because there's a similar riddle floating around that has slightly different numbers.

2+3=10
7+2=63
6+5=66
8+4=96

9+7=?

This is straightforward - add the numbers, then multiply the result by the first number.
2(2+3) = 10
7(7+2) = 63
etc.

If the numbers in your puzzle are correct, then I haven't the foggiest.

@DrewDad,
It's a variation of this one:

@Francis,
That's my point; I'm wondering if it is supposed to be a variation, or if it supposed to be the same.

@DrewDad,
Don't know, this was just an email someone sent me.

At this point I was more curious than anything, since I was getting ready to delte it from my email.

I'll look at it later.

thanks!

Yeah, that was the answer.

144.

Thanks Francis

that 66 was wrong then, should have been 55.

The answer is 58. Don't ask me to explain - it's complicated.

@Mame,
No, it's 144.

The email had an attachment that was password protected, that if the answer was used, it would open.

It opened on 144.

a+b= a(a+b) is correct.

Prove it.
