To solve the equation \( (?) * 5 + 3^2 = 29 \), we first simplify \( 3^2 \):
\[ 3^2 = 9 \]
Now we can rewrite the equation:
\[ (?) * 5 + 9 = 29 \]
Next, we subtract 9 from both sides:
\[ (?) * 5 = 29 - 9 \] \[ (?) * 5 = 20 \]
Now, we divide both sides by 5 to solve for \( ? \):
\[ ? = \frac{20}{5} \] \[ ? = 4 \]
So the value of \( ? \) is \( 4 \).
