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