4x^2 + 8x = 0
x(4x + 8) = 0
x(2x + 2) (4x + 4) =0
x=2 x=-4

Start with the given equation

Factor the left side.

Now set each factor equal to zero:
or

or Now solve for x in each case

So our answer is
or

Notice if we graph we can see that the roots are and . So this visually verifies our answer.
