Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(10 + z)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
10 + z = 0

Solving
10 + z = 0

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

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + z = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + z = 0 + -10
z = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
z = -10

Simplifying
z = -10
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(2 + z)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + z = 0

Solving
2 + z = 0

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
z = -2
Solution
z = {-10, -2}
