\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{x^2 + 8x = 0}\\\larg\text{Firstly: FACTOR the LEFT SIDE of the equation}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow x(x + 8) = 0}\\\large\text{Secondly: SET the FACTORS to equal to 0}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow x \approx 0\ or \ x + 8 = 0}\\\large\text{Thirdly: SIMPLIFY}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow x = 0\ or \ x = -8}\\\huge\text{Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{x = 0\ or\ x = -8}}}\huge\checkmark
