Sin^2(x) + 2sin(x)cos(x) = 0

Add and subtracted by cos^2(x)

then  Sin^2(x) + 2sin(x)cos(x)+cos^(2)x- cos^2(x)=0

By mathematical index property: (a+b)^(2)=a^(2)+b^(2)+2(a)(b)

(sinx+cosx)^(2)-cos^2(x)=0

Add cos^2(x) to each side.

(sinx+cosx)^(2)=cos^2(x)

Take Square root each side.

√(sinx+cosx)^(2)=√[cos^(2)x]

sin(x)=cos(x)-cos(x)

sin(x)=o

x=0
