Divide each side by '-1'.
t = -2

Simplifying
t = -2
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + -1t)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -1t = 0

Solving
1 + -1t = 0

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1t = 0 + -1

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

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
t = 1

Simplifying
t = 1
Solution
t = {-2, 1}
