Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(3 + -1a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
3 + -1a = 0

Solving
3 + -1a = 0

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

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + -1a = 0 + -3

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