I agree with those who gave the answer 40.
The equality signs are misleading though.

Many answers work correctly: 40, 52, 96. There may be more.
I find 40 to be the weakest possibility due to the first statement (equation) not having a preceding statement (equation).

It's a series of sorts and I agree that it could be ambiguous.
Yeah, I told you it Did! 1+4=5 and 5+0=5
Zero is the prior total of the equation we don't see, but it is there and the only answer that makes sense. 0

40
Following the sequence shown
1+4 =5
5 +2+5 =12
12 + 3+6 =21
21+8+11=40
The sequence doesn't include the + after the 1st. 5 nor after the 12 or 21. Without the + 's I suppose any combination could be imagined. I took the presentation of the sequence to be the logical way to solve this.

Nope. Not imaginary. Overslept & couldn't make it to the party! Still there though. Give me another number that fits..............Oh... So now we are going to rely on imaginary priors to justify the result?

That fits what?
I can give you two formulae that fit perfectly (though @Warrigal has correctly identified that the equal (=) signs are misleading). I'd prefer arrows there (->)
