See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Add #color(red)(x)# and subtract #color(blue)(329)# from each side of the equation to solve for #x# while keeping the equation balanced:

#426 - color(blue)(329) - x + color(red)(x) = 329 - color(blue)(329) + color(red)(x)#

#97 - 0 = 0 + x#

#97 = x#

#x = 97#
