Hi, there--
.
I expect that you mean simplify this, rather than solve it, because it's not an equation.
.
First, we factor out the square numbers from under the radical sign. That is, the square root of x^2 is x, the square root of 4 is 2, and the square root of x^6 is x^3.
.
%28x%2Asqrt%282%29%29%2F%282x%5E3%29+
.
We can simplify the x-terms. Divide the numerator and denominator by x, to give
.
%28sqrt%282%29%29%2F%282x%5E2%29+
.
This is expression is now simplified.
