To solve this equation, we use the Zero Product Property, which states that if ab=0, then either a=0 or b=0 (or both). Therefore, we set each factor equal to 0:
-x = 0 or x + 17 = 0
Solving for x, we get x = 0 or x = -17. Therefore, the solution set is {0, -17}.
The only choice that includes both 0 and -17 is C.
