Hi Bunuel ,
It seems that the question is incomplete . :?
The expression 3/(2 + 3/x) should have been equal to something .

If 3/(2 + 3/x) = 1
=> 3/[(2x+3)/x] = 1
=> 3x/(2x+3) = 1
=>3x = 2x + 3
=>x = 3

I am also of the same opinion

From the highlighted integer 3/x must be completely divisible and no number except 3 can result in the same.

So, IMHO X - 3
