Explanation
Evaluate each radical and exponent term in the expression: √12.25 = 3.5 3.5 × 18 = 63 6² = 36 √4 = 2
Substitute these values into the left side of the equation: 63 - 36 - 2 = 25
The equation simplifies to: (?)² = 25
Taking the positive square root of 25 yields the final answer: ? = √25 = 5
