Simplify the left side, and replace \(64\) with \(2^6\) to get: \((n^2)^{\frac{1}{6}} = \frac{(2^6)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{2}\)
Apply the Power of a Power law to both sides to get: \(n^{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{2^2}{2}\)
Simplify the right side: \(n^{\frac{1}{3}} = 2\)
Raise both sides to the power of \(3\) to get: \((n^{\frac{1}{3}})^3 = 2^3\)
Simplify both sides to get: \(n = 8\)
