96=x\times 500+x\left(-497\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
96=3x
Combine x\times 500 and x\left(-497\right) to get 3x.
3x=96
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{96}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=32
Divide 96 by 3 to get 32.
