Consider two positive even integers less than 15 (not necessarily distinct). When the sum of these two numbers is added to their product, how many different possible values may result?

[2 +2] +  2*2  =  8             [4 + 4] + 4*4  = 24          [ 6 + 6 ] + 6*6  = 48

[2 + 4]  + 2*4  = 14           [4 + 6] +  4*6  = 34          [6 + 8 ]  +  6*8  =  62

[2 + 6] +  2*6  =  20          [4 + 8 ] + 4*8  = 44          [ 6 + 10] + 6*10  = 76

[2 + 8]  +  2*8  = 26          [4 + 10 ] + 4*10  = 54      [6 + 12] + 6*12  = 90

[2 + 10] + 2*10  =  32       [ 4 + 12] + 4*12  = 64      [6 + 14] + 6 * 14 = 104

[2 + 12] + 2*12  = 38        [4 + 14 ] + 4*14  = 74

[ 2 + 14] + 2*14  = 44

 

[8 + 8 ]  + 8* 8  =  80         [ 10 + 10] + 10*10  = 120     [12 + 12] + 12*12 = 168

[ 8 + 10] + 8*10  = 98        [10 + 12] + 10*12  =  142     [ 12 + 14] +  12*14  = 194

[8 + 12] + 8*12  = 116       [10 + 14] + 10*14 =   164

[8 + 14]  + 8*14 = 134

 

[14 + 14]  +  14*14  =  224

 

 

Total  different values  =  7 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1  =     27
