To solve the equation, we can factor out an x:

x(x - 5) = 0

Now we have two factors: x and (x - 5). Setting each factor equal to zero, we get:

x = 0
x - 5 = 0

Solving the second equation, we find:

x = 5

So the solutions are x = 0 and x = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is option a. x = 0, 5.
