If you mean by "cancelling" that the x should stay there but be marked at
"cancelled", have a look at the attached. It is made with the "cancel"
latex package, see
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=cancellation.

If you don't know how to produce the red "cancel{}" in math mode: just write
\cancel{<space>.
