$$2x^2+7x+8x^2+9x = 0$$
Answer
$$ \begin{matrix}x_1 = 0 & x_2 = -\dfrac{ 8 }{ 5 } \\[1 em] \end{matrix} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 2x^2+7x+8x^2+9x &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]10x^2+16x &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
In order to solve $ \color{blue}{ 10x^{2}+16x = 0 } $, first we need to factor our $ x $.
$$ 10x^{2}+16x = x \left( 10x+16 \right) $$
$ x = 0 $ is a root of multiplicity $ 1 $.
The second root can be found by solving equation $ 10x+16 = 0$.
