x = -1
Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(20 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
20 + -1x = 0

Solving
20 + -1x = 0

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

Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -20 + -1x = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -20
-1x = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 0 + -20 = -20
-1x = -20

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 20

Simplifying
x = 20
Solution
x = {0, -1, 20}
