Makes no sense: you have 2 operation stuck together: -/ ;
And what is x3: x to the power 3? If so, post like this: x^3

If you are trying to type: 23 divided by 23 equals 3 times x, then it's typed as follows.

23/23 = 3x

The first step in solving this equation for x is to simplify the fraction.

Any Real number (other than zero) divided by itself equals 1.

1/1 = 1
2/2 = 1
3/3 = 1
...
23/23 = 1
and so on ...

After simplifying the fraction 23/23, we get the following.

1 = 3x

Now finish. Divide both sides of this last equation by 3, to get x all by itself on one side of the equals sign.

You're done!
