Is it possible to enter x double dot using the built in equation editor for Pages and/or iBooks author.
I mean x with two dots above it as in second differential wrt time.
I am aware that there are other Latex editors out there and answers that refer me to them are not what I am looking for.
I am more familiar with Latex than MathsType and a MathsType solution would be OK if a Latex solution is not available.

Pages, Numbers, and Keynote do not have LaTeX/TeX editors in them. They use a limited tool (blatex) that converts LaTeX/TeX/MathML syntax into MathML-based document objects. I encourage you to click the link provided by TammyW_03 and on that first page, click the blahtex link to download the PDF that governs what you can and cannot enter in the equation editor.
So by just entering:
\mathrm{\ddot x}
you get:

\ddot{x} is what was required, which was in one of the pages from apple referred to.

Hey nerak100,
Some information on using LaTeX and MathML with those apps can be found in the following guides:
About LaTeX and MathML support in Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and iBooks Author - Apple Support
Add mathematical equations in Pages on Mac - Apple Support
Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities.
Take care!
Well I am not entirely sure what you mean by "Pages does not have a Latex editor."
I entered all the following in Latex and by double clicking the Equation, I can "edit" the Latex. That's an editor isn't it?
I can't choose a kind of Raw version of the Page which I used to be able to when using Latex on a Mainframe (Well that was the default view) and certainly the Latex on Pages is a bit limited in some respects.
\begin {aligned}
\Rightarrow T&=\frac{5m}{2a}\left [u^2 -\frac{4ga}{5}+\frac{4ga \cos\theta}{5} \right]+mg \cos \theta \\
&=\frac{5mu^2}{2a} -\frac{4mg}{2}+\frac{4mg \cos\theta}{2} +mg \cos \theta\\
&=\frac{5mu^2}{2a} -2mg+3mg \cos\theta
\end {aligned}
Just editor semantics…😎. I have the full 10GB MacTeX 2022 installed on Monterey, and accustomed to TeXShop. The blahtex translator supports straightforward LaTeX as you have posted above, but sometimes, it raises ___ with what is input.
