Hey Justin, certainly a tricky problem when you have a fraction as an exponent. All you need to remember is that: (x2/5)5 = x2
Hopefully that nudged you in the right direction, if not here is an example for reference:
4x3/2 = 256
x3/2 = 64
(x3/2)2 = (64)2
x3 = 4096
x = 16
4x3/2 = 256
x3/2 = 64
(x3/2)2 = (64)2
x3 = 4096
x = 16

Yep that's correct, seems like you got it!
