Ok guys I will redo step by step the entire process. I am assuming you know the rules of exponents and prime factorization
2102×213×4912304×3=7x
Numerator
2102=(3×7×2×5)2=32×72×22×52
213=(3×7)3=33×73
4912=√49=7
Denominator
304×3=34×24×54×3
So
32×72×22×52×33×73×734×24×54×3
From this , grouping all the common terms we do have
35×76×22×5235×54×24
The terms canceled out
7652×22=76102
At this point the question is flawed..... there is no way to solve it.
For those who are wondering to check the book, I have already done.
Clearly, the question is badly conceived and written.
