Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(3 + p)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
3 + p = 0

Solving
3 + p = 0

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

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
2 + p = 0

Solving

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

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

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

Simplifying
p = -2
Solution
p = {-3, -2}
