To solve the equation \(5x^2 + 9x = 0\), we can factor out the common term \(x\):
\[ x(5x + 9) = 0 \]
Setting each factor equal to zero gives us two possible solutions:
- \(x = 0\)
- \(5x + 9 = 0\)
For the second equation, we can solve for \(x\):
\[ 5x + 9 = 0 \implies 5x = -9 \implies x = -\frac{9}{5} \]
Therefore, the solutions to the equation \(5x^2 + 9x = 0\) are:
\[ x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\frac{9}{5} \]
