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

Simplifying
1 + -2u = 0

Solving
1 + -2u = 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 + -2u = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -2u = 0 + -1
-2u = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-2u = -1

Divide each side by '-2'.
u = 0.5

Simplifying
u = 0.5
Solution
u = {0, -8, 0.5}
