Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-6 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -6 + x = 0 Solving -6 + x = 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 + x = 0 + 6 Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0 0 + x = 0 + 6 x = 0 + 6 Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6 x = 6 Simplifying x = 6

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(1 + -3x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + -3x = 0 Solving 1 + -3x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + -3x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + -3x = 0 + -1 -3x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 -3x = -1 Divide each side by '-3'. x = 0.3333333333 Simplifying x = 0.3333333333

Solution

x = {6, 0.3333333333}
