Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(5 + t)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
5 + t = 0

Solving
5 + t = 0

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

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + t = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + t = 0 + -5
t = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
t = -5

Simplifying
t = -5
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 = {-5, -2}
