Lets try to find this unknown X number. We know that 3/3 of a number is the number itself. Lets create a simple ratio based on the information that we have:
If 3/3 of x is x,
Then ⅔ of x is -6.
Cross multiply in order to create the equations. So 3/3 times x is equal to ⅔ times -6.
x=⅔ * (-6)
x=-12/ 3
x=-4
