| ① | Multiply $3$ by $ \dfrac{x}{3} $ to get $ x$. Step 1: Write $ 3 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Cancel $ \color{blue}{ 3 } $ in first and second fraction. Step 3: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 4: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 3 \cdot \frac{x}{3} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{3}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x}{3} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{\color{blue}{1}}{1} \cdot \frac{x}{\color{blue}{1}} = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 1 \cdot x }{ 1 \cdot 1 } \xlongequal{\text{Step 4}} \frac{ x }{ 1 } =x \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | $$ 1 x x = x^{1 + 1} = x^2 $$ |
