In summary, The conversation discusses mismatching brackets in an equation and the doubt over its overall definition. The equation is found to be from a book by author Lauren Child and the solution is determined to be 42. The conversation also mentions the lack of an equality sign in a similar problem and provides the original formula from the book.

Mismatching brackets in the last sum. And I doubt the overall expression is well-defined.
Simply open the door and work from there without entering the room? ;)

yes, one bracket is missing. I found out where the equation is from, it is from a book by an author named Lauren Child, and using that information, I found out that the solution to the equation is 42. LOL! She cooperates with maths prof Marcus de Sautoy...

Where is the equality sign in 3+5 (a "slightly" easier problem of the same type)?

What you have in the image is NOT an equation. An equation has this symbol in it somewhere: =.rovelli said:
That would be the value of the expression (I didn't confirm this for myself, though).rovelli said:
