Answer:

2x(x+3)=0

x=0, -3

Explanation:

2x^2+6x=0

2(x^2+3x)=0

2x(x+3)=0

x=0, -3

first, find all the common terms/factors and divide them out of the entire term, then solve for x. If the equation is equal to 0, set each part equal to 0. In this example, it would be 2x=0 and x+3=0. for 2x=0, what times 2 is equal to 0? the answer is zero. For x+3=0 the goal would be to get x by itself on one side of the rquation. to do that we need to subtract 3 from x+3 and what you do to one side you must do to the other. 0-3= -3
