x  + 3*x  = 0
$$x^{3} + 3 x^{2} = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$x^{3} + 3 x^{2} = 0$$
transform
Take common factor x from the equation
we get:
$$x \left(x^{2} + 3 x\right) = 0$$
then:
$$x_{1} = 0$$
and also
we get the equation
$$x^{2} + 3 x = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{2} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{3} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = 3$$
$$c = 0$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(3)^2 - 4 * (1) * (0) = 9

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x2 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x3 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{2} = 0$$
$$x_{3} = -3$$
The final answer for x^3 + 3*x^2 = 0:
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{2} = 0$$
$$x_{3} = -3$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced cubic equation
$$p x^{2} + q x + v + x^{3} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 3$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 0$$
$$v = \frac{d}{a}$$
$$v = 0$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} + x_{1} x_{3} + x_{2} x_{3} = q$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} x_{3} = v$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3} = -3$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} + x_{1} x_{3} + x_{2} x_{3} = 0$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} x_{3} = 0$$
