Key Concept Explanation
When dividing two radicals with the same index, the index remains unchanged. The quotient of the numerator’s radicand and the denominator’s radicand becomes the new radicand. Coefficients are divided separately.

Step-by-step Solution
1. Confirm conditions: Index = 3 (odd); radicands ∈ ℝ, 2x ≠ 0; same index.
2. Separate coefficients and radicals:
