Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(9 + b)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
9 + b = 0

Solving
9 + b = 0

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

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + b = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0
0 + b = 0 + -9
b = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9
b = -9

Simplifying
b = -9
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(8 + 7b)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
