Here $Ax=x$. What should $A$ be?

Since the equation $L(x)=Ax$ is true for all $x$, one way to find $A$ is to simply take $3$ linearly independent $x$ in $mathbb{R}^3$ and put them in the above equation and get the values of each term in $A$. You can take any linearly independent $x$, but I prefer to use the unit vectors $(0,0,1)^T, (0,1,0)^T, (1,0,0)^T$. After putting each of them in $L(x)=Ax$, you will quickly find that
$$A =
begin{matrix}
0 & 0 & 1 \
0 & 1 & 0 \
1 & 0 & 0 \
end{matrix}
$$
You can also verify this is the matrix by putting a general $y=(y_1,y_2,y_3)^T$ and see that the result is $(y_3,y_2,y_1)^T$
