Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'y' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
y = 0

Solving
y = 0

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

Add '-1y' to each side of the equation.
y + -1y = 0 + -1y
Remove the zero:
0 = -1y

Simplifying
0 = -1y

The solution to this equation could not be determined.

This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(-1x + -2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-1x + -2 = 0

-3 + x = 0

Solving
-3 + x = 0

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

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + x = 0 + 3
x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
x = 3

Simplifying
x = 3
Solution
x = {-2, 3}
