When the expression is written partly in words and partly in math symbols, different interpretations are possible....

root%283%2Cx%29%2Ba=b
root%283%2Cx%29=b-a
x=%28b-a%29%5E3

Furthermore, note that, technically, we have no idea what x is, because the expression as you show it involves X and not x.

It is very possible that in a given problem X and x, or R and r, represent different quantities.

It is poor practice to mix capital and lower case letters when they represent the same quantity.
