Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-4 + -1w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-4 + -1w = 0

Solving
-4 + -1w = 0

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

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
w = -4
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(5 + -1w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
5 + -1w = 0

Solving
5 + -1w = 0

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

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + -1w = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + -1w = 0 + -5
-1w = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
-1w = -5

Divide each side by '-1'.
w = 5

Simplifying
w = 5
Solution
w = {-4, 5}
