Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(12 + y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
12 + y = 0

Solving
12 + y = 0

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

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + y = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + y = 0 + -12
y = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12
y = -12

Simplifying
y = -12
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + y = 0

Solving
1 + y = 0

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
y = -1
Solution
y = {-12, -1}
