Hi
I'm not so sure how to help you using the X example. But it might be easier if you substitute the X in with an actual chemical. State symbols really help with ionic equations, basically only break ionic substances into their ions and everything else remains intact. Then cancel out things with the same state on either side of the equation and what you're left with is your ionic equation. Sorry I'm not great at explaining but let me know if you need me to show you an example using the method I've tried to explain :smile:
