x=100

1000 times x is 100000
or
"One thousand times x is one hundred thousand"
If you divide both sides by 1000, you get x is 100

x = 100

To solve for x divide by 1000

# 1000x/1000= 100000/1000

x = 100

or use exponents

# 1000 = 10^3#

# 100000 = 10^5#

# x xx 10^3 = 10^5# divide by 10^3

# x xx 10^3/10^3 = 10^5/10^3# subtract exponents

# x = 10^2#
