The answer is a = 3/4 = 0.75
First get rid of the paranthesis,

Then set the denominators equal:

Then remove the denominators and solve:

Eliminate -12a^2 by adding 12a^2 to both sides:

Take the fourth root of them or take the square root twice:
![\sqrt[4]{256 {a}^(4) } = \sqrt[4]{81} \\ 4a = 3](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/7bz23uwqtt1voivv09zam95rqwvb5bk1ti.png)
Divide both sides by 4:
