Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'x' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying x = 0 Solving x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying x = 0

Subproblem 2

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

Subproblem 3

Set the factor '(4 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 4 + -1x = 0 Solving 4 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-4' to each side of the equation. 4 + -4 + -1x = 0 + -4 Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -4 -1x = 0 + -4 Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4 -1x = -4 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 4 Simplifying x = 4

Solution

x = {0, 1, 4}
