This is a quadratic equation.  It can be factored into two binomials.  In pictures, you want to find values of x where the curve intersects the x axis. 
(see picture)

Factorise (split into brackets):$$c^2+3c+2=(c+2)(c+1)=0$$Then, you have two numbers that when multiplied together make 0, so one of them is zero. So, either:$$c+2=0=>c=-2$$or$$c+1=0=>c=-1$$

To avoid confusion with equal/greater than signs: 

\Rightarrow

$$\Rightarrow$$
