The correct answer is: $x$
We have $y=3 x+6 x^{2}+10 x^{3}+\ldots \ldots$

$\Rightarrow 1+y=1+3 x+6 x^{2}+10 x^{3}+\ldots$

$\Rightarrow 1+y=(1-x)^{-3} \Rightarrow 1-x=(1+y)^{-1 / 3}$

$\Rightarrow x=1-(1+y)^{-1 / 3}$

$=\frac{1}{3} y-\frac{1.4}{3^{2} \cdot 2} y^{2}+\frac{1 \cdot 4 \cdot 7}{3^{2} \cdot 3} y^{3}-\ldots$
