Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(8 + a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
8 + a = 0

Solving
8 + a = 0

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

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + a = 0 + -8
a = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
a = -8

Simplifying
a = -8
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + a = 0

Solving
1 + a = 0

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.

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

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

Simplifying
a = -1
Solution
a = {-8, -1}
