I suppose we are looking for integer solutions. since we have irrational numbers, x must be a multiple of 2. Let us try 0, 2, 4, 6 etc. But on RHS we have x/2 in power. So we need x to be a multiple of 4 to have an integer or rational number on RHS.
let x = 4
(√2 )⁴ + (√3)⁴ = 2² + 3² = 13
(√13)^⁴/² = (√13)² = 13
so x = 4 is good.
For values of x > 4 like 8, 12,... , the value on the RHS is much more than the LHS. So there is only one solution.
