A Correct answer
Explanation

Calculate (9.115)² ≈ 83.1. Then 83.1 + 80.951 ≈ 164.05. The right side is 131.001 + 10.995 ≈ 142. So we have 164.05 - ? = 142, which means ? = 164.05 - 142 = 22.05. Approximating gives ? ≈ 20 (option A). This is a simplification problem involving squares and basic arithmetic.
