a = 0
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(-7b + -1a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-7b + -1a = 0

Reorder the terms:
-1a + -7b = 0

Solving
-1a + -7b = 0

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

Add '7b' to each side of the equation.
-1a + -7b + 7b = 0 + 7b

Combine like terms: -7b + 7b = 0
-1a + 0 = 0 + 7b
-1a = 0 + 7b
Remove the zero:
-1a = 7b

Divide each side by '-1'.
a = -7b

Simplifying
a = -7b
Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(4b + -1a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
4b + -1a = 0

Reorder the terms:
-1a + 4b = 0

Solving
-1a + 4b = 0

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

Add '-4b' to each side of the equation.
-1a + 4b + -4b = 0 + -4b

Combine like terms: 4b + -4b = 0
-1a + 0 = 0 + -4b
-1a = 0 + -4b
Remove the zero:
-1a = -4b

Divide each side by '-1'.
a = 4b

Simplifying
a = 4b
Solution
a = {0, -7b, 4b}
