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

Simplifying
1 + -1w = 0

Solving
1 + -1w = 0

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

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
w = 1
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(3 + -1w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

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

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + -1w = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -1w = 0 + -3
-1w = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
-1w = -3

Divide each side by '-1'.
w = 3

Simplifying
w = 3
Solution
w = {1, 3}
