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

Simplifying
-1 + -2u = 0

Solving
-1 + -2u = 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 + -2u = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -2u = 0 + 1
-2u = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
-2u = 1

Divide each side by '-2'.
u = -0.5

Simplifying
u = -0.5
Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(6 + -1u)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
6 + -1u = 0

Solving
6 + -1u = 0

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

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + -1u = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -1u = 0 + -6
-1u = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6
-1u = -6

Divide each side by '-1'.
u = 6

Simplifying
u = 6
Solution
u = {-0.5, 6}
