  As an engineer who has used math my entire career, I so enjoy your elegant solutions to all these problems.  Great job, so entertaining!

  I take "shortcuts" in my mind, but I love Susanne's step by step.

  I always wished I had a teacher, like Susanne, at school, who could explain how to simplify an equation step by step in such a logical and elegant way. Many people can do algebra, but being able to explain it in a way that everyone can understand is the art of teaching. Thank you, Susanne !<br>There is one step, though, that I would have done differently. <br>I would have used the term &quot;bracketing out&quot; (factoring out) the common term &quot;five to the power of one third&quot; in the fourth root of the bracket, two times five to the power of one third plus three times five to the power of one third. <br>I would have used the term &quot;bracketing out&quot; (or &quot;factoring out&quot;) the common term &quot;five to the power of one third&quot;, which would have resulted in the entire expression simplifying beautifully down to just &quot;five to the power of one third&quot;.

  Thanks for the flashback to high school math class, now I feel old. Really enjoy your videos, I always try to solve them myself first usually get them but my solutions are rarely as elegant as yours.

  Except for my geometry teacher (proofs), my teachers hated me, because I did so many steps in my head. They would&apos;ve <i><b>loved</b></i><b></b> Susanne.

  Thank you. Once again you&apos;ve shown me I have forgotten more than I remember. I love the refreshers

  I did this in my head ... and got it hopelessly wrong! Along comes Susanne with her calm and methodical approach and untangled the mental knots I&apos;d tied myself up in.

  If R is the given radical, then:<br>R = ⁴√((2+3)•³√5) = (5^(1 + 1/3))^(1/4) = 5^(4/3 • 1/4) = ³√5.
