Simplifying
a = 0
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(-1 + abn2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-1 + abn2 = 0

Solving
-1 + abn2 = 0

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

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + abn2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + abn2 = 0 + 1
abn2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
abn2 = 1

Divide each side by 'bn2'.
a = b-1n-2

Simplifying
a = b-1n-2
Solution
a = {0, b-1n-2}
