For the benefit of others, if you square the middle number in the line and subtract the number on the left you come to the number on the right.
Then bottom line is 3 squared = 9 minus 5=4

I am sorry but metaphorically speaking such equations do not appear within my word vocabulary of obscure words pertaining to mathematics. So I declined to even make an attempt to answer it.
