Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(4 + t)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
4 + t = 0

Solving
4 + t = 0

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

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + t = 0 + -4

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

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

Simplifying
t = -4
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(2 + t)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + t = 0

Solving
2 + t = 0

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

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + t = 0 + -2

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

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

Simplifying
t = -2
Solution
t = {-4, -2}
