y = {0}
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + -1y3)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -1y3 = 0

Solving
1 + -1y3 = 0

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1y3 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1y3 = 0 + -1
-1y3 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1y3 = -1

Divide each side by '-1'.
y3 = 1

Simplifying
y3 = 1
