Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(6 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
6 + -1x = 0

Solving
6 + -1x = 0

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

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + -1x = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -6
-1x = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6
-1x = -6

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 6

Simplifying
x = 6
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(8 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
8 + x = 0

Solving
8 + x = 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 + x = 0 + -8

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

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

Simplifying
x = -8
Solution
x = {6, -8}
