Answer is 72 from 8+(8*8)=72

@EmilliaMadondo

Even using the simple number pattern : 
20 to 30 ...difference = 10 
30 to 42 ...difference = 12
42 to 56....difference = 14
56 to x .....difference = 16 

x = 56+16 
   = 72

@raphaelmakaroko4462

4+4 = 20  =  8 + (4x3) 
5+5 = 30  = 10 + (5x4) 
6+6 = 42 =  12+  (6x5) 
7+7 = 56 =   14 + (7x6) 


8+8 = 16+ (8x7) 
         = 72

@GelexyWeddingEntry

4×4=16+4=20

5+5=25+5=30

6×6=36+6=42

7×7=49+7=56

8×8=64+8=72

@DarlingtonFEgbu

Following the same method, 8+8 ===> (8^8) + 8 =72.

@opytmx

(1st + 1) x 2nd or 1st x (2nd + 1) = 72 :-)

@devonwilson5776

Greetings.  The answer is glaringly 72. Based on the established pattern the given number is multiplied by the next consecutive number. That is 
(8×9)=72. Blessings.

@blainenewton7188

That took all of five seconds. Multiply the first number by one added to that number:

4 x 5 = 20
5 x 6 = 30
6 x 7 = 42
7 x 8 = 56
8 x 9 = 72

@DrAUmar-kh7sx

This is called abuse of notation.

@56edb

Up 10 up 12 up 14 so up 16 equals 72

@MatildaAlphonce-k2h

8×8= 64+8= 72

@arivug

For a + a, use a*(a+1)

@aisha-mo7re

56+(8+8)=72

@mogoskidane8228

8+8  64+8 72

@godspropertyofficial5208

First off, all those answers there are wrong...Secondly 8+8=16

@alibhukoo5400
