-1x = 1

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

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

Simplifying
1 + -2x = 0

Solving
1 + -2x = 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 + -2x = 0 + -1

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

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

Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 0.5

Simplifying
x = 0.5
Solution
x = {-1, 0.5}
