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

Simplifying
3 + c = 0

Solving
3 + c = 0

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
c = -3

Set the factor '(2 + c)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + c = 0

Solving
2 + c = 0

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

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

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

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

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