Indicate the missing number:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate both sides of the equation step by step and determine which number should replace the missing value to maintain equality. We'll start by evaluating the left side and simplifying the right side to find the missing number.
Let's examine the left side of the equation:
First, calculate which is .
Next, calculate which is .
Add these results together: .
Calculate which is .
Calculate which is .
Divide by :.
Subtract from : .
Calculate which is .
Subtract from :.
Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation:
Calculate which is .
The expression becomes: .
We know from the original problem statement that the complete expression must equal .
Calculate , which is .
The equation: .
Simplify further:
Taking square roots of both sides: or
Solving for :
Alternatively, for the negative case: does not result in a real number solution.
Therefore, must be to balance the equation

What is the result of the following equation?
\( 36-4\div2 \)
The left side gives you the target value that the right side must equal! Without knowing this value is 14, you can't set up the correct equation to find the missing number.
When you have , taking square roots gives you . Check both possibilities, but only one will give a real solution for □.
The colon (:) means division here! Calculate . Always do exponents first, then division.
The missing value is □, not □². When we solve , we get (since we need the positive solution that makes sense).
Always double-check each step! Write down: , , , etc. One small mistake affects everything that follows.
