Answer:

0 and -6

Explanation:

x(x+6) is not an equation. It is an expression.

x(x+6) = 0 would be an equation. Lets assume this was the intended question.

There are two values of x that could result in x(x+6) equaling zero. It has two terms: x and (x+6). If either of these is equal to zero, the equation would hold true.

If x = 0, then x(x+6) = 0

Also, if x = -6, the result would also be zero [(x(x+6) becomes (-6)*(-6+6), and then (-6)*(0) = 0]

The two possible solutions for x are 0 and -6
