Ignore the factor -2.
Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'u' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
u = 0

Solving
u = 0

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

Simplifying
u = 0
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(2 + u)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + u = 0

Solving
2 + u = 0

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
u = -2
Solution
u = {0, -2}
