Can you solve this?

• 22 + 4 = 24
• 13 + 6 = 16
• 80 + 2 = 82
• 67 + 9 = ??

To solve the pattern in the equations provided, let's analyze them closely.

Identifying the Pattern

Each equation seems to follow a simple rule where the second number is added to the first number, but the result is not what it appears to be. Instead, it looks like the first number is simply retained, and the second number is ignored in the calculation.

Breaking It Down

• For 22 + 4, the result is 24, which is just 22 + 2.
• For 13 + 6, the result is 16, which is 13 + 3.
• For 80 + 2, the result is 82, which is 80 + 2.

Applying the Same Logic

Now, let's apply this to the last equation:

67 + 9 should follow the same pattern. Here, we take 67 and add 2 (the second number minus 7) to get:

Final Calculation

67 + 2 = 69.

Therefore, the answer is 69.
