I very much doubt that this expression can be "simplified" to a single term involving roots.

Some messy algebra can be used to get part way to a simplified form; but in the end the use of a calculator or some numerical method is needed to get an approximate decimal answer.

So we might as well evaluate the original expression on a calculator....

ANSWER: = 2.886632 to 6 decimal places.
