Please be aware when writing expressions, here and elsewhere:
24-20/2 (=14) should be written (24-20)/2 (=2).
Check out the lessons area, some tutors have posted lessons on order-of-operations.

I think the common rule for [a,b,c] is +c=sqrt%28a-b%29+
So for [69,?,8], using b instead of ? :
++8+=+sqrt%2869-b%29+
+64+=+69+-+b++
+highlight%28+b++=+5+%29+
