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