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

Simplifying
-1 + y = 0

Solving
-1 + y = 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 + y = 0 + 1

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

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

Simplifying
y = 1
Solution
y = {0, -1, 1}
