$$2x^2(x+5) = 0$$
Answer
$$ \begin{matrix}x_1 = 0 & x_2 = -5 \\[1 em] \end{matrix} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 2x^2(x+5) &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]2x^3+10x^2 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
In order to solve $ \color{blue}{ 2x^{3}+10x^{2} = 0 } $, first we need to factor our $ x^2 $.
$$ 2x^{3}+10x^{2} = x^2 \left( 2x+10 \right) $$
$ x = 0 $ is a root of multiplicity $ 2 $.
The second root can be found by solving equation $ 2x+10 = 0$.
