Answer:

X = 0, x = -3

Explanation:

You have to cancel everything and -3 =3 is 0 and that would make the entire right side zero. If you have x as 0 the first 0 will multiply with everything making everything zero.

\text{Find the value of the x's}\\\\x(x+3)(x+3)=0\\\\\text{We know that the x outside of the parenthesis would equal 0}\\\\\text{In order to find the value of the other x's, we must solve by equaling}\\\text{them to 0}\\\\x+3=0\\\\\text{Subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\x=-3\\\\\text{Since there are two of them, you would have two answers as -3}\\\\\boxed{\text{x = 0, or x = -3, or x = -3}}
