Ignore the factor 3.
Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'a' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
a = 0

Solving
a = 0

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

Simplifying
a = 0
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(x + 2y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
x + 2y = 0

Solving
x + 2y = 0

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

Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.
x + -1x + 2y = 0 + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
0 + 2y = 0 + -1x
2y = 0 + -1x
Remove the zero:
2y = -1x

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
2y + -2y = -1x + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
0 = -1x + -2y

Simplifying
0 = -1x + -2y
