You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^2 + x is less than or equal to 0
---
Yes, zero is one of the solutions.
But your problem is a quadratic, so it has two solutions.
--------------------
Factor your problem:
x(x+1) <= 0
---
Since the product is zero, either x = 0 or x+1 = 0
---
So, x=0 or x = -1
---------------------
They are the two solutions.
