Let $G$ a finite group without order elements $3$. Suppose

$$(ab)^3=a^3b^3$$

for all $a,b \in G$

Let $a \in G$. Demonstrate that there is $x \in G$ such as $x^3=a$

My attempt:

Since the group has no elements of order $3$, then

$$x^3=e \Longrightarrow x=e$$

Let $a,b \in G$ such as $a^3=b^3$

$$a^3=b^3 \Rightarrow a^3b^{-3}=e \Rightarrow (ab^{-1})^3=e$$

Therefore $ab^{-1}=e \Rightarrow a=b$

This means that no two cubes of different elements are equal. So if we cube all $n$ elements in the group we get $n$ different results. Hence every element of the group must be a cube.

Let $a \in G$, every element of the group must be a cube, then for $x \in G$

$$x^3=a$$

Is my attempt correct?

Other attempt:

Let $a \in G$ and $m=\text{ord}(a)$ Since the group has no elements of order $3$, then $m$ is not divisible by $3$, thus $\text{gdc}(m,3)=1$ by Bezout's Theorem exist $s,p \in \mathbb{Z}$ such as $ms+3p=1$,

$$a=a^1=a^{ms+3p}=a^{ms}a^{3p}=(a^m)^s(a^p)^3=e^s(a^p)^3=(a^p)^3$$

If $x=a^p$ then $x^3=a$, $x \in G$ because $a^p \in G$

Is my other attempt correct?
