The same number sequence can be achieved by adding 1 to the second number and multiplying the result to the first number. That would also allow for the final example to be 96

1 x (4+1) = 5
2 x (5+1) = 12
3 x (6+1) = 21
8 x (11+1) = 96

No longer with us

I'll stick to Ockham's Razor: only '+' is available in the graphic, so I'll stick to that... 40.

The question says there are two answers. 40 is the first answer. What is the second? Can you do it with the '+' symbol alone?
I look forward to the solution

But he used 8×11. The original post uses addition.

To be fair, I think the formula is quite simple.
A + B = C
NOT A + B x ( CD) = E.

I was going to give you all the answers but this maths riddle has caused a stir world wide with the same argument here, both plus and muliplication are used to give two different answers, so both @Kwaka_Rider and @Therapon are correct, I wanted to just sit back and watch a little
