Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-10 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-10 + -1x = 0

Solving
-10 + -1x = 0

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

Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 10 + -1x = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + 10
-1x = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10
-1x = 10

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -10

Simplifying
x = -10
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(8 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
8 + -1x = 0

Solving
8 + -1x = 0

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

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + -1x = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -8
-1x = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
-1x = -8

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 8

Simplifying
x = 8
Solution
x = {-10, 8}
