x/3 = x^2
so x = 3x^2
so x = 0 or 1 =3x => x = 1/3

since
x/3 = x^2
<=>x = 3x^2
<=>0 = 3x^2 - x
<=>0 = x(3x-1)
then
3x-1=0 or x=0
<=> 3x=1
<=> x= 1/3
answer:
x= 0 or x=1/3

x/3 = x^2 can also be written as-
1/3*x=x^2 then divide through by x
1/3=x
x equals 1/3

I used a different aproach
x(x-1/3)=0 and i agree with the 1st,6th and 4th answerer
x=0 or x=1/3

x/3 = x^2
Multiply both sides by 3,
x = 3x^2
0 = 3x^2 - x
0 = x(3x - 1)
We have two solutions.
x = { 0, 1/3}

x/3=x^2
sox^2/x=1/3
x=1/3

x/3=x^2
Multiply both sides by 3
x=3x^2
0=3x^2-x
0=x(3x-1)
0=x
1/3=x

x/3=x^2
(both in LHS & RHS THERE IS AN X SO CANCEL IT)
=> X=1/3
