A Tricky One

A Tricky One
See if you can solve this equation non-mathematically (the answer is not a number):

12 + 144 + 20 + 3√4
__________________  + (5 x 11)  = 9^2 + 0   
            7

Not sure, but it isn't the answer (the numerical answer is 81, but that's not what I'm looking for).

Your secret is safe with me. I broke my math bone in the fifth grade and it didn't heal properly.

Just Googled the answer.

Creative but annoying.

Anyway, that's not really solving the equation. That's just reframing it in a different way.
