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

Simplifying
5 + k = 0

Solving
5 + k = 0

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
k = -5
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + k)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + k = 0

Solving
1 + k = 0

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
k = -1
Solution
k = {-5, -1}
