I hope this will help expand your understanding of function utility slightly. (spoilers)

I hope this doesn't make things more confusing. just know you can run input inline with a function call and explicitly declare the variables at play.

def add_then_mult(num1,num2, mult):
    add = num1 + num2
    mult = add * mult
    return mult

result = add_then_mult(
    num1=int(input("Select first number: ")), 
    num2=int(input("What do you want to add to that number: ")), 
    mult=int(input("What would you like to multiply that number by: ")))

print(f"Your result is {result}")

# Musn't forget to pull it into a variable before trying to print
