Solve for x in this equation?

D=1.51(M/x)^(1/3)

If you could show your steps that would be nice too. I keep getting the wrong answer after I try to use the solved equation so I figure I must be solving for x incorrectly.

    D=1.51(M/x)^(1/3)

    Divide both sides by 1.51

    D/1.51 = (M/x)^(1/3)

    Cube both sides

    (D/1.51)^3 = M/x

    Multiply both sides by x

    x(D/1.51)^3 = M

    Divide both sides by (D/1.51)^3

    x = M / (D/1.51)^3

    x = (1.51^3)M / D

    x = 3.442951M / D
