Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(2 + u)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + u = 0

Solving
2 + u = 0

Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + u = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + u = 0 + -2
u = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
u = -2

Simplifying
u = -2
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(3 + 2u)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
3 + 2u = 0

Solving
3 + 2u = 0

Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + 2u = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + 2u = 0 + -3
2u = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
2u = -3

Divide each side by '2'.
u = -1.5

Simplifying
u = -1.5
Solution
u = {-2, -1.5}
