Calculating future dates from data contained in multiple fields

How do I write a script to calculate a future date based on the product of 2 separate fields?

For example, Field1 represents a starting date (1/1/2023), Field2 represents (76days) from the starting date.

Is Field2 always 76 days from the starting date?

This question has been asked many times:

No, the 76 is not a fixed number.

That number will vary depending on user entries.

Ok, so Field1 is the starting date in "mm/dd/yyyy" format.

How is the number of days determined? Is it entered in Field2?

What is the field that recieves the final calculated date?

Details are important.
