Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-20 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-20 + -1x = 0

Solving
-20 + -1x = 0

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

Add '20' to each side of the equation.
-20 + 20 + -1x = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + 20
-1x = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: 0 + 20 = 20
-1x = 20

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -20

Simplifying
x = -20
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(6 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
x = 6
Solution
x = {-20, 6}
