A Quick Hint

Can’t quite figure it out? Here’s a tip: Don’t focus so much on the big number in the answer. Instead, think of it as several smaller numbers put together rather than one large one.

Genius Math Equation, Answer Revealed

If you are completely stumped and just want to know the answer, here it is:

Each number after the equals sign represents the results of three sums formed by multiplying, adding, and subtracting the two numbers before the equals sign.

Confused? Take a look at this example:
