First: factor the expression - find the least common factor.
x^2 + x = 0
x(x + 1) = 0
Sec: solve the "x" variables..
1. x = 0
2. x + 1 = 0 > subtract 1 from both sides (when you move a term to the opposite side, always use the opposite sign).
x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1
x = 0 - 1
x = - 1
Solution: 0, -1

x^2+x=0
x ( x + 1 ) = 0
x = 0 and x + 1 = 0
x = - 1
x=0 and -1

Yes there is another answer.
x^2+x=0 is a quadratic equation, that means there are two values for x.
if you factor out the x, you'll get
x(x+1)=0
since this is multiplication, and the product is given as 0, one of the factors is 0, too
so it's either
x=0
or the other
x+1=0 a.k.a. x=-1
Hope, I helped.

x(X+1)=0 . ... this quadratic equation x hav 2 possible answer
for x=0, true
for x+1=0 , x= -1 true
good luck to try understand the concept of quadratic

x^2 + x = 0
(-1)^2 + (-1) = 0
so,
x = -1

it is only 0
just plug in some numbers and see the pattern
x = 1
1^2 + 1 = 3
x = 2
2^2 +2 = 6
x = 3
3^2 + 3 = 12
as you can see the numbers get bigger as x increases
x = -1
-1^2 + (-1) = 1
x = -2
-2^2 + (-2) = 2
x = 3
-3^2 + (-3) = 6
x also gets bigger as the numbers get smaller

use the formula (-b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
(-1 + sqrt(1-0))/2 = 0/2 = 0
(-1 - sqrt(1-0))/2 = -2/2 = -1
these are the zeros of your function: 0 and -1
