Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(4 + h)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
4 + h = 0

Solving
4 + h = 0

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

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + h = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + h = 0 + -4
h = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
h = -4

Simplifying
h = -4
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + 2h)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + 2h = 0

Solving
1 + 2h = 0

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + 2h = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 2h = 0 + -1
2h = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
2h = -1

Divide each side by '2'.
h = -0.5

Simplifying
h = -0.5
Solution
h = {-4, -0.5}
