x = -1

Simplifying
x = -1
Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(9 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
9 + -1x = 0

Solving
9 + -1x = 0

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

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + -1x = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -9
-1x = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9
-1x = -9

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 9

Simplifying
x = 9
Solution
x = {-1, 9}
