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

Simplifying
1 + -1u = 0

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

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

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
u = 1

Simplifying
u = 1
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + -1u)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

Solving
4 + -1u = 0

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

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + -1u = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -1u = 0 + -4
-1u = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-1u = -4

Divide each side by '-1'.
u = 4

Simplifying
u = 4
Solution
u = {1, 4}
