Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(5 + m)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
5 + m = 0

Solving
5 + m = 0

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

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + m = 0 + -5

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

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

Simplifying
m = -5
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(3 + m)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
3 + m = 0

Solving
3 + m = 0

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

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

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + m = 0 + -3
m = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
m = -3

Simplifying
m = -3
Solution
m = {-5, -3}
