Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(2 + p)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + p = 0

Solving
2 + p = 0

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

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
Subproblem 2

Simplifying
1 + p = 0

Solving
1 + p = 0

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

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

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

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

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