What is the solution to the equation x^2 + 3x = 0?

-3
0
√3
3

The correct answer is: -3

The solution to this equation is -3 because when simplifying the equation, we get x(x+3)=0 which means that either x=0 or x+3=0. So, the only valid solution is when x+3=0, which gives us x=-3. While B, C, and D are included as possible solutions in the beginning equation, they do not satisfy the resulting equation after simplification. Therefore, they are not the correct solution for this equation.
