To solve the equation \( 2x^2 + 16x = 0 \) by factoring, follow these steps:
-
Factor out the common term: \[ 2x(x + 8) = 0 \]
-
Set each factor to zero: \[ 2x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x + 8 = 0 \]
-
Solve each equation:
- For \( 2x = 0 \): \[ x = 0 \]
- For \( x + 8 = 0 \): \[ x = -8 \]
Thus, the solutions to the equation \( 2x^2 + 16x = 0 \) are: \[ x = 0, -8 \]
So, the answer is: \[ 0, -8 \]
