    Simplifying x2 + 2x = 0 Reorder the terms: 2x + x2 = 0 Solving 2x + x2 = 0 Solving for variable 'x'. Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'x'. x (2 + x) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor 'x' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying x = 0 Solving x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying x = 0 Subproblem 2Set the factor ' (2 + x) ' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + x = 0 Solving 2 + x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + - 2 + x = 0 + - 2 Combine like terms: 2 + - 2 = 0 0 + x = 0 + - 2 x = 0 + - 2 Combine like terms: 0 + - 2 = - 2 x = - 2 Simplifying x = - 2Solutionx = {0, - 2}
