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