$$200x = x^2$$
Answer
$$ \begin{matrix}x_1 = 0 & x_2 = 200 \\[1 em] \end{matrix} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 200x &= x^2&& \text{move all terms to the left hand side } \\[1 em]200x-x^2 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]-x^2+200x &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
In order to solve $ \color{blue}{ -x^{2}+200x = 0 } $, first we need to factor our $ x $.
$$ -x^{2}+200x = x \left( -x+200 \right) $$
$ x = 0 $ is a root of multiplicity $ 1 $.
The second root can be found by solving equation $ -x+200 = 0$.
