Given,

x+1x=3x + \dfrac{1}{x} = 3

Using identity,

(x+1x)3=x3+1x3+3(x+1x)33=x3+1x3+3×327=x3+1x3+9x3+1x3=279=18.\Rightarrow \Big(x + \dfrac{1}{x}\Big)^3 = x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} + 3\Big(x + \dfrac{1}{x}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 3^3 = x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} + 3 \times 3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 27 = x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} + 9 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} = 27 - 9 = 18.

Hence, x3+1x3=18.x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} = 18.
