Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'a' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
a = 0

Solving
a = 0

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

Simplifying
a = 0
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(-12 + q)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-12 + q = 0

Solving
-12 + q = 0

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

Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + q = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + q = 0 + 12
q = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: 0 + 12 = 12
q = 12

Add '-1q' to each side of the equation.
q + -1q = 12 + -1q

Combine like terms: q + -1q = 0
0 = 12 + -1q

Simplifying
0 = 12 + -1q
