To solve this equation, we have to factor our radicals. We do this by finding numbers that multiply to give us the number within the radical.


Add them together:

4 is a perfect square, so we can find the root:


Since both have the same radical, we can combine them:

Use the multiplication property of radicals to split the fourth roots as follows:
![\rightarrow $\frac{3\sqrt[4]{16}$\sqrt[4]{2}}{2\sqrt[4]{81}\sqrt[4]{2}}](https://vt-vtwa-assets.varsitytutors.com/vt-vtwa/uploads/formula_image/image/93698/gif.latex)
Simplify the new roots:
![\rightarrow $\frac{3(2)\sqrt[4]{2}$}{2(3)\sqrt[4]{2}}](https://vt-vtwa-assets.varsitytutors.com/vt-vtwa/uploads/formula_image/image/117469/gif.latex)
![\rightarrow $\frac{6\sqrt[4]{2}$}{6\sqrt[4]{2}}](https://vt-vtwa-assets.varsitytutors.com/vt-vtwa/uploads/formula_image/image/93699/gif.latex)
