Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + -2b + -1a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
4 + -2b + -1a = 0

Reorder the terms:
4 + -1a + -2b = 0

Solving
4 + -1a + -2b = 0

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

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -1a + -4 + -2b = 0 + -4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4 + -1a + -2b = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -1a + -2b = 0 + -4
-1a + -2b = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-1a + -2b = -4

Add '2b' to each side of the equation.
-1a + -2b + 2b = -4 + 2b

Combine like terms: -2b + 2b = 0
-1a + 0 = -4 + 2b
-1a = -4 + 2b

Divide each side by '-1'.
a = 4 + -2b

Simplifying
a = 4 + -2b
Solution
a = {4 + -2b}
