Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(7 + n)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
7 + n = 0

Solving
7 + n = 0

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

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.
7 + -7 + n = 0 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
0 + n = 0 + -7
n = 0 + -7

Combine like terms: 0 + -7 = -7
n = -7

Simplifying
n = -7
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + n)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
4 + n = 0

Solving
4 + n = 0

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

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + n = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + n = 0 + -4
n = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
n = -4

Simplifying
n = -4
Solution
n = {-7, -4}
