Solve for x:
1/200 = 1/825+1/x

1/200 = 1/825+1/x is equivalent to 1/825+1/x = 1/200:
1/825+1/x = 1/200

Bring 1/825+1/x together using the common denominator 825 x:
(x+825)/(825 x) = 1/200

Cross multiply:
200 (x+825) = 825 x

Expand out terms of the left hand side:
200 x+165000 = 825 x

Subtract 825 x+165000 from both sides:
-625 x = -165000

Divide both sides by -625:
Answer: |  x=264
