Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(9 + m)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
9 + m = 0
Solving
9 + m = 0
Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + m = 0 + -9
Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0
0 + m = 0 + -9
m = 0 + -9
Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9
m = -9
Simplifying
m = -9
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(9 + m)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
9 + m = 0
Solving
9 + m = 0
Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

9 + -9 + m = 0 + -9
Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0
0 + m = 0 + -9
m = 0 + -9
Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9
m = -9
Simplifying
m = -9Solution
m = {-9, -9}
