Assuming the middle "x" is multiplication, just multiply the numbers and the variable "x" and then divide and then root. Post what you get.

Note its generally a good idea to divide first to keep things simple, but in this case, there is little difference.

5x3/2 ???

Assuming the question was
[br]5x410x2x2[br][br]\sqrt{\frac{5x^4 * 10x}{2x^2}}[br]
and your answer is
[br]5x3/2[br][br]5x^{3/2}[br]
then yes
