can anybody explain to me what is being done here ?

Answer:
So first, they remove the denominator of x times x, because multiplication cancels out division, so then you're left with
3/1 times x = 2193
3/1 just equals three, so you write it down as 3.
3x = 2193
To isolate 3x, you need to divide by 3.
x = 731
Hope this helped :)
