Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(4 + d)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
4 + d = 0

Solving
4 + d = 0

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

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
2 + d = 0

Solving
2 + d = 0

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

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

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

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

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