Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + 5w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + 5w = 0

Solving
1 + 5w = 0

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + 5w = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 5w = 0 + -1
5w = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
5w = -1

Divide each side by '5'.
w = -0.2

Simplifying
w = -0.2
Solution
w = {0, -0.2}
