Solve for x x(x+3)=0

$x (x + 3) = 0$

Step 1

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to $0$ , the entire expression will be equal to $0$ .

$x = 0$

$x + 3 = 0$

Step 2

Set $x$ equal to $0$ .

$x = 0$

Step 3

Set $x + 3$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $x + 3$ equal to $0$ .

$x + 3 = 0$

Subtract $3$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = - 3$

Step 4

The final solution is all the values that make $x (x + 3) = 0$ true.

$x = 0, - 3$
