$\begin{array}{rcl|c} 400+x&=&200x\\ 400+x-x&=&200x-x&\text{subtract }x\\ 400 &=& 199x\\ \dfrac{400}{199} &=& x&\text{divide by }199\\ x &=& \dfrac{400}{199} &\text{exchange sides} \end{array}$

We can isolate the x terms on one side.

201x=0

Then,

we divide by 201

x=0

So,

x=0

You can check your answer by substituting $x = 0$ into the original equation:

$\begin{array}{rcl} \text{LHS} &=& 400 + 0\\ &=& 400\\ \text{RHS} &=& 200x\\ &=& 200(0)\\ &=& 0\\ &\neq& \text{LHS} \end{array}$

Then $x= 0$ does not satisfy the equation, and hence your answer is not correct.
