0 + n = 0 + -2
n = 0 + -2

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

Simplifying
n = -2
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + n)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + n = 0

Solving
1 + n = 0

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + n = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + n = 0 + -1
n = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
n = -1

Simplifying
n = -1
Solution
n = {-2, -1}
