0 + u = 0 + -4
u = 0 + -4

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

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

Simplifying
1 + u = 0

Solving
1 + u = 0

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
u = -1
Solution
u = {-4, -1}
