1. The problem is to simplify the expression $x \times x \times x$. 2. Recall the rule of exponents: when multiplying the same base, add the exponents. Here, each $x$ is to the power of 1. 3. So, $x \times x \times x = x^{1+1+1} = x^3$. 4. Therefore, the simplified form of $x \times x \times x$ is $x^3$.
