If A + B = some calculation (C), then
Where C is [ A+B+(A*B) ] THEN answer is 7
Where C is [ A+(B*B) ] THEN answer is 10
Where C is [ ((A+B)*B) - (A*A) ] THEN answer is 11
If A + B = some calculation (C), then
Where C is [ A+B+(A*B) ] THEN answer is 7
Where C is [ A+(B*B) ] THEN answer is 10
Where C is [ ((A+B)*B) - (A*A) ] THEN answer is 11
