Take 3w to the other side and divide by v^2.

What are you left with on the left hand side? Do you know how to get x on its own from here?

not sure what you're asking when you say
x
_______
v+w
do you mean xv+w\dfrac{x}{v+w} or something different? If the former I'm not sure what you mean by work it out.
(y-3w)/v^2

3W+V^2X=Y
V^2X=Y-3W
X=(Y-3W)/(V^2)
I think that's the answer
