Please can someone give me a solution of this problem?

One liter N2 at 2.1 bar and two liters of Ar at 3.4 bar are mixed in a 4L flask to form an ideal gas mixture. calculate the value of the final pressure of the mixture if the initial and final temperature of the gases are respectively 304 K and 402 K and the final one is 377 K.

Thank you!

You need to show your attempt before we can help you. If you need help getting started, you will need to use the fact that the total pressure is just the sum of the partial pressures
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
