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

Simplifying
1 + 4u = 0

Solving
1 + 4u = 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 + 4u = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 4u = 0 + -1
4u = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
4u = -1

Divide each side by '4'.
u = -0.25

Simplifying
u = -0.25
Solution
u = {-3, -0.25}
