x = -2

Simplifying
x = -2
Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(10 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
10 + -1x = 0

Solving
10 + -1x = 0

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

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -1x = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -10
-1x = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
-1x = -10

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 10

Simplifying
x = 10
Solution
x = {-2, 10}
