Dear student,
Please find the attached solution to your question.
 
Given, x2 – 3x + 1 = 0
→ x2 + 1 = 3x
→ x + 1/x = 3   (Dividing both sides by x)
→ x2 + 1/x2 + 2 = 9
→ x2 + 1/x2 = 7     ----(1)
→ x2 + 1/x2 – 2 = 5
→ (x – 1/x)2 = 5
→ x – 1/x = (5)1/2   ---(2)
 
Now, x3 + 1/x3
= (x - 1/x)(x2 + 1/x2 + 1)
= 51/2 * (7 +1)
= 8 * 51/2
= 85
 
Hope it helps,
Thanks and regards,
Kushagra
