Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(8 + -1w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
8 + -1w = 0

Solving
8 + -1w = 0

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

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + -1w = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -1w = 0 + -8
-1w = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
-1w = -8

Divide each side by '-1'.
w = 8

Simplifying
w = 8
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(12 + w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
12 + w = 0

Solving
12 + w = 0

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

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + w = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + w = 0 + -12
w = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12
w = -12

Simplifying
w = -12
Solution
w = {8, -12}
