$\Rightarrow x = 0$ $=>x = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = - 3$ $=>x = -3$

$\Rightarrow 2 x (x + 3) = 0$ $=>2x(x+3)=0$

This equation is already factored. We can divide by $2$ $2$ to simplify a bit more:

$\Rightarrow x (x + 3) = 0$ $=>x(x+3)=0$

We have two possible ways to satisfy this equation:

$\Rightarrow x = 0$ $=>x=0$
$\Rightarrow x + 3 = 0 \to x = - 3$ $=>x+3=0 -> x = -3$

Hence, the two solutions are: $x = 0$ $x = 0$ and $x = - 3$ $x = -3$
