Question
$$\frac{{2^2}^2}{4\cdot(3-1)} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{{2^2}^2}{4\cdot(3-1)} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 4 }. \\[1 em]4 \cdot \frac{{2^2}^2}{4\cdot(3-1)} &= 4\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]32 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 32 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
