Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-2 + -1x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-2 + -1x2 = 0

Solving
-2 + -1x2 = 0

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

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + -1x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + -1x2 = 0 + 2
-1x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
-1x2 = 2

Divide each side by '-1'.
x2 = -2

Simplifying
x2 = -2

The solution to this equation could not be determined.

This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + x = 0

Solving
1 + x = 0

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
x = -1
Subproblem 3
