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 '(-1b + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -1b + x = 0 Solving -1b + x = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add 'b' to each side of the equation. -1b + b + x = 0 + b Combine like terms: -1b + b = 0 0 + x = 0 + b x = 0 + b Remove the zero: x = b Add '-1x' to each side of the equation. x + -1x = b + -1x Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0 0 = b + -1x Simplifying 0 = b + -1x The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.

Solution

a = {0}
