Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(10 + b)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
10 + b = 0

Solving
10 + b = 0

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

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + b = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + b = 0 + -10
b = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
b = -10

Simplifying
b = -10
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + b)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + b = 0

Solving
1 + b = 0

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

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

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + b = 0 + -1
b = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
b = -1

Simplifying
b = -1
Solution
b = {-10, -1}
