Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(1 + -4t)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -4t = 0

Solving
1 + -4t = 0

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -4t = 0 + -1

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

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

Divide each side by '-4'.
t = 0.25

Simplifying
t = 0.25
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(3 + -1t)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + -1t = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -1t = 0 + -3
-1t = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
-1t = -3

Divide each side by '-1'.
t = 3

Simplifying
t = 3
Solution
t = {0.25, 3}
