Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'a' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying a = 0 Solving a = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying a = 0

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 a 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 Add '-1x' to each side of the equation. x + -1x = -1 + -1x Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0 0 = -1 + -1x Simplifying 0 = -1 + -1x The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.

Subproblem 3

Set the factor '(-1 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -1 + x = 0 Solving -1 + x = 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 + x = 0 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + x = 0 + 1 x = 0 + 1 Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1 x = 1 Add '-1x' to each side of the equation. x + -1x = 1 + -1x Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0 0 = 1 + -1x Simplifying 0 = 1 + -1x The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
